5.4 quake 16 Sep 11:13 pm (GMT +9)
An earthquake of magnitude 5.4 occurred late at night on Monday, September 16th, 2024, at 11:13 pm local time near Miyazaki, Japan, as reported by Japan’s National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 11.7 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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 European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.2. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.2.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Nichinan (pop. 44,200) located 50 km from the epicenter, Miyazaki (pop. 311,200) 58 km away, and Kushima (pop. 22,100) 63 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been

Today, the U.S. National Science Foundation, in partnership with Ericsson, Intel Corporation, Micron Technology and Samsung, announced $42.4 million in grants for its Future of Semiconductors (NSF FuSe2) competition. The investment will fuel groundbreaking research and education across various semiconductor technologies, advancing U.S. leadership in semiconductor research and innovation and addressing key challenges in this critical field, including emerging computing tasks and applications, energy efficiency, performance, manufacturing and supply chains.
The NSF FuSe2 awards will fund semiconductor research to drive technology forward and strengthen the U.S. semiconductor industry and will support the broader goals of the “CHIPS and Science Act of 2022” to ensure long-term leadership in the microelectronics sector and growth in our regional economies across the country. As the demand for advanced computing capabilities grows, particularly in artificial intelligence and machine learning, the need for more efficient, scalable and reliable semiconductor technologies becomes increasingly vital. The awarded projects will explore novel approaches to overcome existing limitations in semiconductor design and fabrication, ensuring that the U.S. remains at the forefront of global technological advancements.
This marks the next stride in the FuSe program. One year ago, almost to the date, NSF launched the initial FuSe program that provided $45.6 million to fund 24 research and education projects supported by funding from the Biden administration’s “CHIPS and Science Act of 2022.”
“Innovation in semiconductor research
