Interesting facts

The wall that tries to stop plastic in Amsterdam is not made of concrete, it is hidden at the bottom of a canal, no one sees it from afar, and uses only bubbles to push trash to the bank without stopping boats or blocking fish.

Science and Technology

Bottled water can contain 240,000 plastic fragments per liter, a scientific study analyzes 280 samples from 20 brands, showing that only one was free of microplastics, revealing the presence of nanoplastics and indicating plastic additives and PET in the water.

Science and Technology

Scientists have finally discovered where the plastic that disappeared from the oceans went, and the answer is frightening: it fragmented into such tiny particles that they became invisible and now there are 27 million tons of nanoplastic just in the North Atlantic.

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.
