On the Greek island of Ithaca, archaeologists have found what may be a sanctuary dedicated to the legendary Odysseus, with inscriptions bearing his name and votive offerings that span from the Mycenaean to the Hellenistic era.

Scientists enter a narrow, flooded cave 500 meters deep and find giant dinosaur footprints on the ceiling measuring up to 1.25 meters, preserved in such a rare way that a new type of trace had to be created.

After two years of internal discussions, Paraguay has finally regulated the law that opens the country to foreign technology and service companies with tax incentives that promise to create thousands of jobs and change the economy.

Map reveals how the Earth may look in 250 million years: continents will reunite in the Last Pangaea, 92% of the planet could become uninhabitable for mammals, and Spain appears among the rare possible exceptions.

Why fighter pilots never return after ejecting: the seat launches the body at 600 km/h in 1 second, compresses the spine, reduces G tolerance, and leads to medical disqualification, not punishment.

With 1,000 buses sent abroad, the Brazilian manufacturer consolidates the strength of national technology and takes on a leading role in public transportation across all of Latin America.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

The Moon has essential rare earth minerals for 99% of the electronics you use in your daily life and a future fuel that is almost nonexistent on Earth: now the race to explore the satellite has turned into a global competition among more than 70 countries.

Scientists reveal an impossible artifact for its time made with iron from space, and the discovery reignites a historical debate about the Bronze Age in China.

The humanoid robot G1 has gained a new digital brain that has transformed it into a true domestic worker: it learns by observing the environment, interprets objectives, and executes complete tasks without receiving step-by-step instructions.

They seemed like common bones, but scientists were surprised to find a relic over 12,000 years old that dates back to before the Bronze Age.

The factory shows how PHC piles and precast tubes are made; steel turns into a welded cage, high-strength concrete enters the mold, spins in centrifugation, cures in steam, and is ready in hours.

Petrobras confirms that it will reimburse amounts to distributors and return the price difference from the gas auction following a regulatory decision.

Petrobras buys back fields for billions — what no one is talking about regarding this decision and how it could impact jobs and oil in Brazil.

New escalation of tensions and oil crisis in the Middle East forces world powers to accelerate energy transition plans.

Giant reservoirs with a capacity of 18 million cubic meters have turned Fujairah into one of the largest energy vaults on the planet. This facility, located outside the Strait of Hormuz, stores oil on a colossal scale and has become a silent piece that supports the global flow of fuels.

The next exploration auction in the pre-salt will offer 23 blocks in the Campos and Santos basins and may change the interest of oil companies in Brazil.
