Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Workers were opening a modern road in Dover when they found, 6 meters below the asphalt, a 3,500-year-old boat made of stitched oak and plant fibers.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

Consumers eat six times more chicken than in the 1960s, global meat supply quadruples in 60 years, and FAO report reveals the invisible cost on the plate: livestock could drive 80% of the increase in agricultural emissions over the next decade.

End of checkout counters: Surprising change in supermarkets advances across Brazil as Atacadão and Assaí expand self-service technology for consumers, reducing lines, speeding up purchases, and transforming the payment experience without relying on traditional checkout counters.

Brazilian referee steals the show at the opening of the 2026 World Cup, sends off three players, speaks in English at the stadium, and even becomes a meme on social media.

Labubu dolls appear at the opening of the 2026 World Cup, steal the show in Mexico, and make many people wonder what serrated-tooth plush toys have to do with FIFA.

Family builds a house inside a giant greenhouse in Norway, grows fruits in winter, and creates an almost self-sufficient home with solar energy, biomass, and micro-hydroelectric power.

Why did so many players take the field with pink boots at the opening of the 2026 World Cup and how much does it cost to follow this trend?
