Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

It surpassed the T-Cross, the Tera, and the BYD Song: with nearly 4,000 units sold, the Hyundai Creta is the best-selling SUV in the first half of April.

Google’s new super submarine cable project was suddenly halted on Christmas Island, and the reason drew attention: 120 million red crabs made their way to the sea and forced the operation to stop mid-schedule.

Supermarkets like Assaí, Carrefour, and Atacadão now need to adapt to new requirements in 2026 that promise to change shopping in Brazil.

China tests “flying truck” HH-200 with a 1.5-ton payload and a range of 2,360 km, debuting its bet on autonomous air logistics and showing that the country is already pursuing the transportation of the future.
