Safety and Technology

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.

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.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

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.

The island that has 35 inhabitants and celebrates Christmas on January 6: the remote island of Foula lives in isolation, without internet and following Julius Caesar’s calendar for centuries.

Scientists from the United Kingdom transform wool into a sustainable biomaterial for bone regeneration, test keratin in human cells and live animals, and show that the material creates bone that is more organized, stable, and natural-looking than traditional alternatives.

With the Arctic warming up to 4 times faster and signs of weakening in the Atlantic circulation, scientists warn that the system that keeps Portugal, Spain, France, and the United Kingdom milder could change as the planet continues to warm.

Hydrogen-powered underwater drone makes history by traveling 2,024 km without surfacing, demonstrating how deep-sea missions can become much longer, cheaper, and almost uninterrupted in the near future.

The UN declared in January 2026 that the world entered an era of “water bankruptcy,” a state beyond crisis, in which compacted aquifers, vanished lakes, and rivers that have become seasonal can no longer recover to historical levels.

Bacteria found by NASA intrigues scientists: it survives without water, resists extreme sterilization, and “plays dead.” Tersicoccus phoenicis is an invisible contamination risk in space missions.
