The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

New driver’s license in RS becomes up to 76% cheaper and almost doubles approvals, but students of independent instructors face queues, few cities with tests, and a wait of almost a month to schedule the practical exam.

One in every four apples from Brazil comes from a single city in Santa Catarina, located at the top of the mountain range at 1,360 meters of altitude, which transformed the extreme cold into a billion-dollar business with a quality seal.

Colombia is the fourth largest oil producer in Latin America, but has just hosted a conference with 50 countries to negotiate the end of fossil fuels, and the paradox is that the host city was defined for decades by coal exports.

A volcano in Antarctica emits 80 grams of pure gold into the air every day, spreading precious particles over the ice, and yet no one can get their hands on this wealth.

In 1991, Brazil’s GDP was almost double India’s, and today it is little more than half: while India grew 6.5% per year and trained engineers, Brazil preferred to train lawyers, and now it is rushing to strengthen ties with the world’s fourth-largest economy.
