First-Ever Video Captures Supershear Earthquake Rupture at 3.7 Miles Per Second

In a groundbreaking development, CCTV footage from Myanmar's 2025 M7.7 earthquake has provided the first visual evidence of a supershear strike-slip fault rupture. Recorded 74.5 miles from the epicenter, the video shows ground displacement of 8.2 feet in 1.3 seconds, confirming pulse-like rupture dynamics and curved fault movement.

Skin Buckles with Age: Mechanical Stress Explains 90% of Wrinkle Formation

A groundbreaking study from Binghamton University reveals that skin wrinkles primarily due to mechanical stress and directional contraction during stretching—like Silly Putty—offering the first experimental proof of wrinkle formation. This insight shifts anti-aging science beyond genetics and UV exposure.
