China-led team hits 83% success rate anticipating earthquakes in ‘seismo-ripples’ study

Anomalous seismic, magnetic and ionospheric resonance signals challenge the belief that earthquakes are unpredictable.

Quick Look

Researchers identified ringlike disturbance patterns termed 'seismo-ripples' triggered before earthquakes, challenging the belief that seismic events are unpredictable.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Scientific belief has long held that earthquakes are unpredictable events.

Font size

The anomalous seismic, magnetic and ionospheric resonance signals they observed – termed “seismo-ripples” by the researchers – are ringlike disturbance patterns triggered before earthquakes happen.

Their findings challenge the long-standing scientific belief that these events are unpredictable, opening up a promising new path to earthquake prediction.

Open Questions

  • ?How reliable are seismo-ripples for early warnings?
  • ?Can these signals be detected globally for all fault lines?

Where did this common-sense discovery come from?

A team from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, discovered the oldest known amber fossils so far in the Middle Devonian coal seams of the Junggar Basin in Xinjiang, which is about 385 million years old, 65 million years earlier than the previous record. Research suggests that the ability to synthesize complex resins may have existed in primitive vascular plants long before the emergence of seed plants, and that the resins may have originally been used for protection against wildfires and fungi rather than insect defense. The team extracted tiny amber particles through ultraviolet fluorescence scanning and microscopy manual sample selection, and confirmed their chemical characteristics using infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

China discovered the Jurassic flightless bird Yang Yuan𬸚𬸦, overturning the traditional understanding of the early evolution of birds

Wang Min's team from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with the Fujian Academy of Geological Sciences, discovered fossils of Yang Yuan, a new species of bird from the late Jurassic period in the Zhenghe Fauna of Fujian, weighing about 821 grams. This confirmed that the early stages of bird evolution had led to ecological specialization of being ground-dwelling and flightless, breaking the hypothesis of one-way evolution of flight and revealing an explosion of ecological diversity at the origin of birds.
