  Computers Can Detect Volcanic Eruptions, Chemical Blasts Using Artificial Explosion Signals, Study Claims

  Computers could be trained using artificial explosion signals, to help them better detect distant nuclear detonations, chemical blasts and volcano eruptions. Infrasound is at a frequency too low to be heard by humans and travels farther than high-frequency audible waves. As explosions haven't occurred at every location on the planet and the atmosph...
