Earthquakes have long been a mystery, with their sudden and destructive nature leaving scientists scrambling for ways to predict them. However, a team at Los Alamos National Laboratory has made significant strides in this area by using machine learning to detect hidden signals that precede earthquakes. This groundbreaking research at the Kīlauea volcano in Hawaii
