The researchers have developed a model of a laboratory earthquake that links the real microscopic contact zone between the defect surfaces to the possibility of earthquakes. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesThis breakthrough demonstrates the link between microscopic friction and earthquakes, offering new [...]
