China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

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.

Building a 95-square-meter house in 2026 can start at around R$ 185,000 at the reference base and exceed R$ 330,000 in high standard, but the final cost depends on the land, finishing, fees, and the region, with the South of the country being among the most expensive in Brazil.

A small church built in 7 weeks in 1961 stands surrounded by skyscrapers in Balneário Camboriú, the city with the most expensive square meter in Brazil, accommodating only 60 people and defying decades of verticalization and luxury on the coast of Santa Catarina.

Satellite images analyzed by Reuters reveal that China is building a vast network of over 80 launch platforms, bunkers, and communication centers in the Xinjiang desert near its nuclear silos, in an effort that analysts say aims to ensure the capability to retaliate in the event of an attack.

Nasal spray developed in Texas surprises scientists by reducing brain inflammation and rekindles hope against Alzheimer’s and dementia.

The Supreme Court approved Ferrogrão by nine votes to one, the railway that had been stalled for five years and is expected to provide a shorter route for soybeans from Mato Grosso to flow towards the north of the country.
