Japan was shaken near Sendai, Sendai Shi, Miyagi, by an earthquake of magnitude 5.0 only 9 minutes ago, Japan’s National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED) reported.
The quake hit at a moderately shallow depth of 60.10 km beneath the epicenter near Sendai, Sendai Shi, Miyagi, Japan, late at night on Thursday, June 5th, 2025, at 11:51 pm local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 4.6.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Minami-Soma (pop. 59,000) located 71 km from the epicenter, Ishinomaki (pop. 138,500) 86 km away, Watari (pop. 33,500) 87 km away, Iwanuma (pop. 43,900) 90 km away, Higashimatsushima (pop. 39,100) 91 km away, Shiogama (pop. 52,700) 91 km away, Kakuda (pop. 33,200) 92 km away, Rifu (pop. 36,000) 96 km away, and Sendai (pop. 1,096,700) 99 km away.

Predictive AI model could help forecast neurodegenerative diseases

Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s are a growing concern in the U.S., with over 7 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease today. By 2060, that number is expected to grow, affecting nearly 13 million people. These diseases are not only hard on individuals and families, but are costly, with more than $230 billion spent in the U.S. each year in caregiving alone. As the population ages, the need for new ways to detect and address the silent emergence of these diseases has never been more urgent. 

New artificial intelligence predictive models used in brain research may provide a way to better predict how a person’s brain ages over time, helping doctors recognize warning signs long before clinical symptoms surface. 

Supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation, a team of researchers led by Paul Bogdan, an associate professor in the University of Southern California Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has developed a cutting-edge AI system capable of generating a future MRI of a person’s brain from just a single scan. This technology opens the door to identifying subtle changes that may signal the earliest stages of neurodegenerative diseases — potentially years before traditional diagnostic methods could detect them.

To build the tool, the team combined two advanced AI techniques: a 3D diffusion model and a ControlNet, which allow the system to “control” or guide image generation
