The 2025 tsunami is shattering old models, thanks to observations from space. On July 29, 2025, the world’s sixth biggest recorded earthquake struck Russia, triggering a tsunami whose waves reached as far as the U.S.’s West Coast. Data from an unexpected source —space—has shed unexpected light on this oceanic reaction.

Bethesda announced on X today that Quake is now a Steam Deck Verified title. The 1996 game from the legendary id Software has also been designated Handheld Optimized for the Xbox ROG Ally devices. As one of the OG boomer shooters,

Quake Brutalist Jam III, a massive modding project which adds 77 new concrete-heavy maps to the classic shooter, has been released.

“The Cascadia Megathrust M9.0 Earthquake was selected as a scenario as it is currently one of the more likely earthquake scenarios in B.C., it complements existing scenarios, and it highlights important and less understood insights into the risks and impacts of this unique and inevitable earthquake,” the report reads.

A magnitude 4.9 earthquake shook the Susanville area in Lassen County in Northern California two days after another sizable quake, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. The 3-mile deep quake hit 9 miles from Susanville at 9:49 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 30, according to the USGS.

Biology has always been an unruly science. Cells divide when they want to. Genes switch on and off like temperamental lights. Experiments typically yield averages, not clear-cut figures. To a physicist, it can sometimes feel less like a discipline and more like unpredictable weather.

A powerful 6.2-magnitude earthquake hit Japan's Chugoku region, registering upper 5 on seismic intensity scale; no tsunami threat reported. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Findings based on mini “lab quakes” in a controlled setting could help researchers assess the likelihood of future quakes in vulnerable regions.
