In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

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.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

Hidden beneath a small entrance in Namibia’s underground, the largest underground lake in the world is the size of 2 football fields, 264 meters deep, and even has rare animals that survive without sunlight.

Tired of expensive housing, couple buys a boat for US$ 1, refurbishes the sailboat at low cost, and sails over 1,600 kilometers to the Florida Keys.

Engineering students create a low-cost 3D-printed wheelchair for dogs and help the paralyzed dog Bili, who was born without legs, walk again for R$ 448.

Couple trades four-bedroom house in Canada for a retired school bus costing less than $7.5k bought on Facebook, dismantles the vehicle down to the screws, and transforms the yellow scrap into a luxury home on wheels, with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and handmade skylight.

Surprising opportunity in the railway sector: MRS offers a free course for assistant train driver and shunter in Juiz de Fora with a R$ 1,600 scholarship, specialized training, and the chance to join one of the largest railway operators in Brazil.

The Jacaroá Lagoon in Maricá has turned into a “liquid sky” that glows blue at night: the bioluminescence of the microalgae has exploded, and the city hall attributes the phenomenon to the dredging of the channels.
