Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Study solves great ancient mystery: remains of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, are identified in Vergina and resolves the enigma of the Macedonian royal tombs that had lasted half a century.

Australia prepares to dredge 96.5 million m³ in Moreton Bay to deepen, widen, and realign channels of the Port of Brisbane, in a project of up to 25 years designed to accommodate larger ships and enhance maritime safety and regional port efficiency.

Larger than the Toyota Hilux and with a towing capacity of 3.5 tons, the new MG U9 2026 features a 2.5 turbodiesel engine, 520 Nm, 4×4 traction with three locks, and an almost full-size build.

Portugal installs two giant underwater sockets to draw water from the Atlantic and create a €107.9 million desalination plant in the Algarve capable of producing 43.2 million liters of potable water per day with ocean intake 2 km from the coast.

South Africa created giant concrete blocks in the shape of a twisted “H” that reached 30 tons and became a global shield against destructive waves; dolosse were born after a storm devastated the port of East London in 1963 and today protect ports, beaches, and breakwaters on various continents.

Giant geotextile bags filled with sand have become flexible barriers against erosion in America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania; the technology replaces tons of concrete and rock with permeable tubes that dissipate waves and protect beaches, dunes, and riverbanks.

More than 500 Marines, robots, drones, and armored vehicles are deployed in Rio de Janeiro for the UN to certify Brazil at the highest level of readiness for peacekeeping missions. It is the first force in the country to achieve this status in all of history.
