Did you get an alert before today’s earthquake? That’s early warning tech in action. Caltech researchers have helped shape the science behind these systems designed to give you a heads-up to take action. #CaltechScienceExchange

How Do Earthquake Early Warning Systems Work?
Earthquake early warning systems don’t predict earthquakes. Instead, they detect ground motion as soon as an earthquake begins and send alerts that a tremor is on its way.

Congratulations, IPAC and SPHEREx teams! 💫
SPHEREx's first images! 🌈
Processed with rainbow hues to represent a range of infrared wavelengths, the new pictures indicate the astrophysics space observatory is working as expected.
IPAC will perform science data processing and analysis once available.

Superconductivity is a quantum physical state in which a metal is able to conduct electricity perfectly without any resistance. Such materials could open new possibilities in areas such as quantum computing, the energy sector, and medical technologies.

So Inspiring. I’m thrilled our group is a part EAS and we get to work with Dr. Atwater and the Resnick team.
Increasing energy demands and problems associated with burning fossil fuels have heightened. To address this need, scientists have been working to devise a way to generate solar-thermal heating that could then drive the chemical reaction

Thank you, IEEE, for the honor! AI+Science is here to stay. I started working on this seriously after I joined @caltech.edu in 2017. We grounded our work in principled foundations, such as Neural Operators and physics-informed learning, for accelerating modeling and making scientific discoveries.

This is freaking awesome. Go Firefly Blue Ghost!
This is what a lunar eclipse looks like... from the surface of the Moon.
That dark circle is Earth.
