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.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

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.

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.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

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.

Almost 100,000 gallons of cheese brine are spread on frozen roads to melt ice, reduce industry waste, and save millions on road salt.

Registrations for Enem 2026 enter the final stretch and thousands of students have not yet confirmed participation.

FIOL, a 1,527 km railway that will cut through Bahia to Tocantins and open an Atlantic outlet for Brazilian commodities, gains another confirmed section of 35.7 km with 2,400 direct jobs and a tight deadline of December.

The world’s largest ship already has a date to arrive in Brazil and will disembark 7,200 BYD cars in a gigantic operation that will mobilize 150 workers, dozens of car carrier trucks, and change the routine of an entire city in SC.

A viaduct over 40 years old in a city in Minas Gerais was closed due to the risk of collapse, blocked routes for months, exposed maintenance failures, and now requires a R$ 1.7 million project to prevent a collapse in the urban heart for decades.

Viaduct used every day by cars, buses, and pedestrians in the center of a São Paulo city becomes a legal case after a report indicates “imminent danger,” cracks, corrosion, and high lethality risk.

The truck that “bent physics” in the Monte Carlo case: report indicates impossible route between São Paulo and Mato Grosso, R$ 4 million in recorded refueling, R$ 3 million advanced, and suspicion of entries without real correspondence.

ANTT authorizes new electronic tolls without barriers on highways in Paraná and Goiás, expands free flow toll collection, and introduces drivers to a new rule that may result in a fine if the toll is not paid on time.
