Russia’s Colossal Earthquake May Have Ignited Multiple Volcanoes

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-12-10 09:55:09

The sixth strongest earthquake ever recorded struck Russia’s far east Kamchatka Peninsula on July 29 and has seemingly triggered a string of nearby volcanoes. According to the United States Geological Survey, it’s not uncommon for large earthquakes to cause volcanic activity, though volcanoes will only erupt if they were already close to erupting on their own. Depending on its magnitude, the earthquake must also occur within a certain distance from the volcano. Klyuchevskaya, one of the highes

The History and Physics of the Atomic Bomb

wired.com Luca Nardi 2025-12-11 09:00:00

In 1938, Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, who had fled to New York to escape fascism, discovered a material in which a process of this type occurred: uranium. Fearing that the Nazis might also discover this element’s capability of producing a chain reaction, the Manhattan Project was born in 1940, a secret program for the development of nuclear weapons led by Arthur Compton. Compton formed a research group, which also included Fermi and Szilard, that would continue to conduct experiments on nucle

‘Alien: Earth’ Is Better Than We Ever Dreamed Possible

When the idea was first floated of bringing the iconic Alien franchise to TV, many were skeptical. Films such as Ridley Scott’s 1979 original and James Cameron’s 1986 sequel are all-time classics. Follow-ups, like David Fincher’s 1992 film and Scott’s 2012 return, were also noteworthy for their own reasons. Alien just felt like a franchise that had been very well-explored already and could only be damaged in translation to a different medium. Well, I am elated to report that any skeptics, mysel
