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.

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.

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.

PCC and Comando Vermelho enter the U.S. terrorism list and the Brazilian market is already trying to understand where this might hit first.

In a billion-dollar agreement of nearly R$ 50 billion, Dell takes over the supply of Microsoft software for the Pentagon and accelerates one of the largest military digital transformation initiatives of the decade with a direct impact on security and technology.

Road that charges electric vehicles through the ground is already operational in the USA and could change the future of wireless charging

BYD will bring the God’s Eye to Brazil in 2027, named Olho de Deus, an advanced driver assistance system with artificial intelligence, 5G network, and satellite connection that the Chinese automaker wants to popularize across its entire line of cars.
