At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

VW creates “anomaly” in the market: T-Cross with 1.0 turbo engine is cheaper than its younger sibling, the Tera High.

Around 500,000 abandoned coal mines could be turned into giant batteries using only sand and gravity, studies indicate a potential of up to 70 TWh of storage, with China, India, and the USA concentrating enough capacity to power entire cities without needing to build anything new.

Fiat retired the ‘unbreakable’ engine that runs over 300,000 km after 40 years, but the models remain among the best-selling in Brazil.

‘Interlocking brick’ made of earth arrives in the construction industry with cost reductions of up to 40% on the project.

A simple stitch in wood with nylon thread can reduce adhesives, speed up production, and make sheets up to 4 times stronger and 14 times more difficult to break.

With just joint compound, white glue, and pigment, you can make a homemade paint that yields double the conventional amount, saves up to 70%, and leaves the wall with a finish that no one would believe wasn’t store-bought paint.

Lula responds directly to Trump and says that Pix is from Brazil and will not change under pressure from anyone, after a report from the United States pointed out the Brazilian payment system as an American trade barrier.

‘Interlocking brick’ made of earth arrives in the construction industry with cost reductions of up to 40% on the project.

With a 1.0 engine producing 75 hp and costing less than R$ 70,000, Fiat’s car returns to the podium as the cheapest in the country; a temporary promotion for the 2026 Like version reduces the price of the Fiat Mobi.

With a mild hybrid system of 48 V, 176 hp and a price of R$ 175,990 in the Sahara version, the new Jeep Renegade changes mostly on the inside, improves slightly in fuel consumption, and remains almost the same car.

With a 293.5 cm³ engine and a range of up to 400 km with a 14.1-liter tank, the Honda CB 300F Twister 2026 has up to 24.7 hp, an initial price of R$ 25,150, and already exceeds R$ 29,000 in the Fipe Table.

With a 1.3 engine, nearly 700 km of range, and Turbo 200, the Fiat model surpasses Polo, Tera HB20, and Onix, becoming the best-selling car in March; see the numbers for the Fiat Strada and others.

The Honda Fit has been discontinued for years, but the 2018 model is worth more today in the Fipe table than it cost brand new, proving that this used car, valued with a 1.5 i-VTEC engine and Magic Seat, only increases in price.
