The 2025 mega-quake in Myanmar was a catastrophe for the communities it struck, but for scientists it was also a once-in-a-generation natural experiment that unfolded almost perfectly on camera, in ...

A rare, ultra-long earthquake in Myanmar revealed that mature faults can deliver their full force directly to the surface.

California's seismic risk is increasing with supershear earthquakes, which are faster and more destructive than typical ...

A rare earthquake in Myanmar revealed how a long, mature fault can transmit energy directly to the surface. The discovery may change how scientists evaluate the danger posed by major faults around the ...
