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.

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.

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.

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.

Son of a Chinese immigrant who sold tea in the countryside of São Paulo, Zhang Ye almost went bankrupt in 2021 and today, at 28 years old, claims to earn 1 million reais per day and has become the number 1 on TikTok Shop in Latin America.

New oral medication for hair loss surprises in tests with more than 500 participants, uses extended-release minoxidil, shows hair growth four times greater than the placebo, and now raises expectations about when it might reach the market.

The military spaceplane that almost took the Cold War into orbit: Boeing X-20 Dyna-Soar was designed to re-enter above Mach 20, fly for up to 40 hours, land like a plane, and transform Titan rockets into a gateway to a new era of orbital warfare.

Foreign tree planted to combat drought invades more than 1 million hectares of the Caatinga, encroaches on riparian forests, and turns an old solution for the semi-arid region into a silent threat to biodiversity.

Suzuki Fronx emerges as the “compact coupe SUV” that Brazil doesn’t have: priced around R$ 37,000 in a tax-free conversion, the model has a hybrid version, 1.0 turbo engine, bold design, and the price of a popular car in India.

Not every car with a battery is truly electric; some hybrids never run solely on electric power, and since 2025, ABVE stopped counting mild hybrids as electrified, and these differences change everything when buying.

Peugeot 408 Griffe 2015 combines a turbo engine, 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds, a 526-liter trunk larger than many compact SUVs, leather, multimedia, cruise control, and a sunroof, but it remains off the radar among fully equipped used cars.

Chevrolet Onix leads the efficiency ranking among flex-fuel cars by Inmetro, achieves almost 18 km/l, and costs less than R$ 100,000.
