Food alert in the U.S. and Canada: thousands of boxes of frozen blueberries may be contaminated with dangerous substances
Goodbye to human assembly lines: China now has a dark factory that manufactures one smartphone per second, 24 hours a day, without a single worker
AI is no longer just a simple writing aid, and 2026 could be the year when courts, universities, and the media are inundated with a flood of texts that can no longer be processed in time
No more dead batteries: Japanese scientists have developed a sensor that generates electricity from sweat
China already has a giant drone with the payload capacity of a manned fighter jet, and what’s most unsettling is that the “Jetank” can launch entire swarms into the air
The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Nimitz is scheduled to arrive in Panama between March 29 and April 2 with some 6,000 people on board for a military port call that has also raised concerns about noise, waste, and emissions
The United States is investing $115 million in anti-drone technology to protect the 2026 World Cup and its 250th anniversary from a threat that is changing security forever
In 2026, an AI is challenged to design life from scratch, and the unthinkable happens: it starts with blind creatures and ends up developing a functional visual system without instructions, as if evolution had “sneaked” into the code
Saudi Arabia is building a 1.7-mile-long artificial lake in the middle of the desert, featuring three giant dams and a $4.7 billion investment, which will yield 90,000 cubic meters of water per week without significantly impacting the environment
China is building a massive 83-mile canal to transport goods directly from the interior to the sea, and the project’s scale explains why half the world is watching it closely
The plane that “traveled through time”: it left Japan on Saturday and arrived in California “on Friday”
A Spanish startup founded in April 2025 validates in record time an AI-powered perimeter surveillance system with sensor fusion, covering 40 hectares and 2,500 meters in real air traffic and reaching TRL 6 with a “double dome” that detects up to 3 km
Japan ups the ante in naval defense and tests a 100 kW laser weapon mounted on a 6,200-ton ship that promises “nearly infinite ammunition” against drones and mortars
Anti-drone technologies are multiplying and seem straight out of science fiction (nets, inhibitors, lasers, and much more), but the warning is disturbing: there is no foolproof system, and real defense requires combining several layers, as each drone and each attack breaks part of the plan
New research into space fuels promises to reduce costs and facilitate missions such as SpaceX’s journey to Mars
Lockheed Martin is developing an autonomous submarine capable of operating with drones and torpedoes: a venture that could transform naval warfare
In 1901, Edison already had a battery for electric cars that could change everything: the forgotten invention that today is once again challenging lithium
