A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

To take down swarms of drones and cheap missiles without spending a fortune on ammunition, Japan tested a 100-kilowatt laser cannon at sea, mounted on a warship.

Appliance giant closes factory, lays off 1,700 employees after drop in sales, global inflation, and the rise of Asian competitors.

Petrobras puts R$ 70 billion on the table to create 25,000 jobs, operate platforms capable of producing 240,000 barrels per day, build 32 subsea wells, and a 134 km pipeline off the coast of Sergipe.

Quiet rural village in Brazil is located in the mountains, hosts hundreds of technology companies, produces microchips, electronic voting machines, and advanced medical equipment, and has become the largest technology hub in the Brazilian countryside.

Quiet Brazilian municipality grew hidden within the largest asteroid crater in South America, formed 250 million years ago after a colossal impact that opened a 40 km structure in the country’s underground.
