In the future, an “energy hood” can be set to protect the city from earthquakes.

According to recent foreign media reports, a French research team has successfully validated their theory through experiments, demonstrating that seismic energy can be redirected away from the most vulnerable parts of a city. Although still in its early stages, the study suggests that this approach could one day be used to protect urban areas from earthquake damage. During the experiment, researchers created a network of 5-meter-deep cylindrical holes in the soil and used seismograph sensors to track how seismic waves traveled through the area. As predicted, the sound waves resonated within the hole arrangement due to acoustic properties, causing refraction around the structures. ![Image](#) The team explained: “At the micro and nano scale, engineered materials have a significant and lasting impact on photonics and phononics. At the decimeter and meter level, engineered soil can interact with seismic waves, altering their global behavior.” They hope that civil engineers will eventually use this technology to refract earthquakes around cities, creating safe zones by redirecting seismic energy. The researchers stated: “Our measurements of particle velocity show that seismic energy distribution has changed. For complex natural materials like soil, large-scale experiments are necessary to confirm practical feasibility and real-world application in urban engineering.” The team believes their trials were successful and see them as a starting point for exploring the interaction between human infrastructure and natural forces. However, as *Scientific American* points out, there are still many challenges. “All forces must go somewhere,” the publication notes. “We need to find a way to absorb the massive energy from a major earthquake or find a safer place to direct it.”
