Tech & Engineering

Japan’s Earthquake Tech

Some Japanese skyscrapers stay steady during earthquakes thanks to tuned mass dampers—giant swinging pendulums hidden inside. When the ground shakes, the pendulum sways in the opposite direction, counteracting the motion and reducing building sway. It’s an elegant blend of physics and engineering that helps protect lives in one of the world’s most quake-prone nations.

Sport

Business & Politics
