Science and Technology

Scientists simulated what would happen if all of Earth’s oceans evaporated — and found the same mark on Mars, suggesting that one-third of the red planet was once covered by water.

Mining

The United States wants to extract minerals from the bottom of the Pacific at a depth of 4,000 meters — the problem is that 90% of the species living there are still unnamed, and in tests, life on the seabed decreased by 37%.

Renewable Energy

Climate change should be combated by solar and wind energy — but extreme heat reduces the efficiency of panels, violent winds shut down the turbines, and extreme rainfall floods entire power plants.

Interesting facts

On the seabed near Singapore, divers found the country’s first ancient shipwreck — the 14th-century ship carried 3.8 tons of Chinese porcelain and the largest collection of Yuan Dynasty blue and white pieces ever recovered from a shipwreck.

Construction

130 kilometers off the coast and with 260-meter-tall turbines, the world’s largest offshore wind farm is being assembled on the bottom of the North Sea — when complete, its 277 turbines will generate energy for 6 million homes in the United Kingdom.

Armed Forces

An American nuclear submarine fired a single torpedo at an Iranian frigate in the Indian Ocean and sent it to the bottom — it’s the first time the United States has done this since the end of World War II, in 1945.

Construction

While in Brazil the bullet train between São Paulo and Rio never got off the ground, California already has 130 kilometers of completed viaduct, 16,700 jobs created, and is installing tracks for trains at 350 km/h.

Renewable Energy

When the sun set in California, giant batteries supplied 42.8% of all the state’s electricity — five years ago, they said it was impossible to store solar energy for nighttime use, and now 12.3 gigawatts prove otherwise.

Construction

Nearly 1,600 meters below the surface of South Dakota, workers removed 800,000 tons of rock and built two giant caverns without a single serious accident — inside them, scientists will install the world’s largest underground cryogenic detector.

Oil and Gas

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.

Nuclear Energy

South Korea held plasma at 100 million degrees for 102 seconds inside a nuclear fusion reactor — more than double the previous record and the most concrete step taken towards endless clean energy.

Industry

Each blade measures over 150 meters, the complete rotor has a diameter of three football fields, and a single unit generates energy for 30,000 homes — China is building the most powerful wind turbine in the world, with 22 megawatts.

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.

Engine without traditional cylinder head could change the future of hybrids: Aramco creates DHE technology that simplifies mechanics, promises to reduce consumption by up to 25%, and challenges decades of evolution in combustion engines.
