A strong explosion shook Brazil’s largest refinery, located in Paulínia, in the state of São Paulo. The fire at the refinery started after the explosion of a large cracking boiler that affected several smaller distillation units. For safety reasons, the refinery eliminated the excess fuel. The explosions startled Petrobras employees who were working at the time, around one o’clock in the morning. The refinery’s own firefighting team sprang into action immediately.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

With 6 openings at Norsul and 4 at Norcoast, the trainee program pays R$ 4,000, offers health and dental plans, life insurance, and meal vouchers to train Nautical Officers in a 2-year course in Rio de Janeiro.

SpaceX receives investment grade for the first time, sees Starlink become a cash engine, and reaches a valuation exceeding 2 trillion dollars.

A city with fewer than 2,000 residents believed that 3D-printed houses would solve its housing crisis, but the project stalled, walls cracked, the printer disappeared from the site, and the FBI got involved in the case.

Race for data centers in Brazil increases pressure on critical energy

How a Brazilian company created a system that transforms broken pallets of any brand into new assets, recycles 80 tons of plastic per month, and found a profitable solution to a problem that challenges industries across the country.

While the world looks at forests, the UN warns that the Earth is also threatened by the silent degradation of natural grasslands and savannas, ecosystems that cover half of the planet, support billions of people, and can exacerbate water, food, and climate crises.

Cheaper than new HB20, Onix, and Argo, this German sedan offers a 510-liter trunk, a 2.0 naturally aspirated engine, a 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, and well-known mechanics; the 2016 Volkswagen Jetta Comfortline still draws attention in the used car market.
