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.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

The world’s most powerful telescope was switched on in Chile and may finally solve the mystery of the ninth planet that scientists believe has been hidden in the Solar System for billions of years.

The Government released R$ 10 billion for farmers to buy machinery and will also renegotiate the debts of those who are delinquent because rural insurance only covers 7.8% of the country’s crops.

Yet another streaming platform has declared war on password sharing in Brazil, and now millions of subscribers will have to choose between paying more or losing access for good.

SC Civil Defense issues new observation at 7:50 PM and warns of advancing cold air mass, with a sharp drop in temperature between Monday night and Tuesday morning and lows of up to 2°C in the Southern Plateau.
