With a Successful Test of the New Anti-Submarine Missile SMART, the Indian Navy Significantly Advances Its Naval Capabilities, Demonstrating Technological Self-Sufficiency and Reinforcing Its Position as a Regional Defensive Power Able to Effectively and Accurately Address Undersea Threats.

The Indian Navy, in a significant strategic move, successfully tested an anti-submarine missile capable of hitting underwater targets at great depths. This test was conducted by the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) on Abdul Kalam Island, located off the coast of Odisha, as revealed by the Ministry of Defense.

The new missile, known as SMART (Submarine-Tracking Assisted Missile for Torpedo Launch), is part of advanced technology aimed at transforming the Indian Navy’s anti-submarine missile operations.

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.

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.

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.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

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.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.

A new 3D printing technology promises to give robots muscles similar to humans.

China pours concrete for 60 hours non-stop to form the largest caisson in the world on a highway bridge over the Yangtze and prepare the base that will support a 1,600-meter span over one of the most important rivers on the planet.

While thieves looted almost all the neighboring tombs over 2,600 years, an Etruscan chamber in Italy remained sealed and untouched all this time, and archaeologists have just opened it to find more than a hundred objects in the exact place where they were left.
