ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Sheets of plastic similar to that used for garbage bags, packing tape, some string, a little charcoal dust and a white shoebox-size box are more than odds and ends. These are the ...
Infrasound refers to sound frequencies below the threshold of human hearing, around 20 Hz or less. There are a variety of natural sources of infrasonic emissions, including thunderstorms, avalanches, ...
Sensors that detect changes in atmospheric pressure due to ground shaking can also obtain data about large earthquakes and explosions that exceed the upper limit of many seismometers, according to new ...
Scientists are studying how sensors designed to detect nuclear tests could help track space junk and meteorites crashing down in the world's most remote regions. Across the world, dozens of ...
Earthquakes sway buildings, buckle terrain, and rumble -- both audibly and in infrasound, frequencies below the threshold of human hearing. New computer modeling by a team of researchers indicates ...

The Cotopaxi, a volcano located sixty miles from the city of Quito in Ecuador, is considered a dangerous volcano. More than 300,000 people live nearby and eruptions in the past have caused widespread ...
Sound recording equipment is getting better all the time. Researchers from Boise State University, Stanford University, and Chile’s University of Concepcion have just found a new, very specific ...
2003-02-24 04:00:00 PDT Denver-- In rumbling tones far lower than the sounds that human ears can hear, a symphony of mysterious noises constantly assails the entire globe, and scientists are learning ...
When North Korea conducted its third nuclear explosion on February 12, the global nuclear police, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization, detected it immediately and soon afterward released ...
