Earthquakes
Summary

This episode discusses how shock absorbers in cars can inspire a solution for reducing the intensity of earthquakes that tend to cause destruction to buildings and the environment. By slowing down the high-frequency waves, buildings can be more resistant to shaking, thereby reducing damages caused by earthquakes.
