Scientists Intentionally Trigger 8,000 Earthquakes Deep Beneath Swiss Alps
Scientists Intentionally Trigger 8,000 Earthquakes Deep Beneath Swiss Alps
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,
Scientists at ETH Zurich university in Switzerland have deliberately induced around 8,000 seismic events deep underground in the Swiss Alps as part of an experiment called Fault Activation and Earthquake Rupture (FEAR-2).
The team injected 750,000 litres of water into the ground via two boreholes over approximately 50 hours at the BedrettoLab facility. The quakes were too small to be felt at the surface or cause damage, with magnitudes ranging from -5 to -0.14.
The researcher explained “While some seismic events occurred...

Authored by Prabhat Ranjan Mishra via Interesting Engineering,
Chemists in the United States have discovered a new way to turn natural gas into liquid fuel.
The team from Northwestern University has successfully converted methane directly into methanol in a single step. They harnessed tiny bursts of plasma — or mini “lightning bolts” — in glass tubes submerged in water.
Methanol is a versatile, high-demand industrial chemical used to make many products people use every day.Employee/Alexander/Driscoll
