Unusual gamma-ray burst reveals previously undetected hybrid neutron-star merger event

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The standard view of gamma-ray bursts as a signature for different types of dying stars might need a rewrite. Recent astronomical observations, supported by theoretical modeling, reveal a new observational fingerprint of neutron-star mergers, which may shed light on the production of heavy elements throughout the universe.

AI predicts physics of future fault-slip in laboratory earthquakes

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

An artificial-intelligence approach borrowed from natural-language processing — much like language translation and autofill for text on your smart phone — can predict future fault friction and the next failure time with high resolution in laboratory earthquakes. The technique, applying AI to the fault’s acoustic signals, advances previous work and goes beyond by predicting aspects of the future state of the fault’s physical system.
