Earthquakes happen daily, sometimes with devastating consequences, yet predicting them remains out of reach. What scientists ...

Scientists used supercomputer simulation to reveal the underlying mechanism by which the irregular fault geometry, characterized by multisegments, controlled the variation of the fault slip and ...
