Science and Technology

Material created at MIT absorbs 99.995% of light and has become ten times darker than Vantablack by engulfing a 16.78-carat diamond valued at 2 million dollars, turning it into pure shadow.

Science and Technology

NASA researchers test new material capable of withstanding contact with melted lunar dust, one of the biggest challenges of space missions: technology may help astronauts produce oxygen, fuel, and structures using resources found on the lunar surface itself.

Construction

A material four times lighter than steel and twice as strong has just arrived at construction sites and may permanently retire the traditional rebar, with its structures lasting more than a century without needing a single maintenance.

Construction

Material once seen as a poor man’s choice returns as a climate bet, with red clay replacing part of the gray concrete in modern buildings, hospitals, houses, and a cultural center that transforms tradition into a solution against urban heat.

Science and Technology

The University of Amsterdam created a material that is alive in a way science has never seen before because it learns, forgets, and moves on its own, and no one can predict how far this will go.

Science and Technology

Engineers have created a material that self-repairs more than 1,000 times and can make wind turbine blades and airplane parts last for centuries instead of decades.

Construction

Scientists transform sawdust into fire-resistant panels, stabilize the compound with an enzyme extracted from watermelon seeds, and turn waste into promising material for construction.

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.

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.

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.

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.
