A new approach to preventing human-induced earthquakes
Applied in the field, a new model reduced quakes from oil and gas processes; could help manage seismic events from carbon sequestration. By Jennifer Chu, MIT News OfficeJuly 28, 2021 When humans pump large volumes of fluid into the ground, they can set off potentially damaging earthquakes, depending on the underlying geology. This has been…

Compact neural networks as natural simulators of chaotic dynamics
MIT researchers demonstrate that neural networks can efficiently “learn” to become chaotic — to extrapolate beyond training data and mimic non-linear systems, with applications for modeling or correcting for chaotic behaviors in engineered systems.
