A study in Nature reveals that Earth's inner core, once thought to consistently super-rotate eastward, has slowed and even reversed direction. This challenges existing models, indicating a more complex interaction between the inner core, outer core, and mantle, with important implications for understanding Earth's deep interior dynamics.
While MEMS accelerometers offer advantages in cost, size, and deployment flexibility compared to traditional broadband seismometers, they face limitations in recording long-period seismic waves. The future of seismic instrumentation likely lies in integrating MEMS and broadband technologies, combining the high spatial resolution of MEMS sensors with the sensitivity and bandwidth of broadband seismometers to enhance seismic monitoring capabilities across different scales and frequency ranges.
