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.

Researchers in the U.S. have created a flying robot that transforms into a land vehicle while still in the air. The technology, based on aerodynamic transition, converts landing into a scene worthy of Transformers and redefines mobility between sky and ground.

As diesel prices soar due to conflicts in the Middle East, a Brazilian city decides to test a little-known biofuel that promises to completely replace fossil fuel without adaptation and could change the future of energy in the country.

With 38 rooms and about 236 years of history, this mansion impresses with its size, dark past, and mysteries.

Scientists use sawdust mixed with clay to create a lighter brick, promising efficient thermal insulation and impressing by transforming waste into a solution for construction.

A rare storm transformed part of the Gulf into an unlikely scene of hail, extreme rain, and tornado risk in the middle of the desert, with volumes that exceeded the annual average in a single day.

Brazil catches the world’s attention with ships powered by ethanol and biodiesel that have lower emissions, an unprecedented certification with advantages in chartering, and a revolution in cabotage.
