... Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU in Chemnitz are relying on predictive process monitoring to eliminate faults during production as far as possible.
One of the most dangerous faults in the world is primed for another monster earthquake, according to new research.
... can trigger tremor," Ghosh said. "Finding tremor can help to track evolution of stress in the fault over space and time, and therefore could have significant implications in seismic hazard analysis."

The New Madrid fault system does not behave as earthquake hazard models assume and may be in the process of shutting down, a new study shows.
BRAUNSCHWEIG, Germany, March 26 (UPI) -- German scientists say they have developed a technique that enables identification of otherwise invisible faults in rotor blades.
