China is set to start delivering XPeng AeroHT’s hybrid “Land Aircraft Carrier” in 2027, a modular eVTOL with thousands of orders, as the flying car is shifting from prototype to calendar
A golf course worth “200 billion” ended up covered in solar panels to generate energy, but the clock is ticking toward 2030, and that could turn a brilliant fix into a problem that’s nearly impossible to undo
Singapore is sinking 448 concrete giants into the sea, and the prize is a fully automated port bigger than 3,000 football fields
Thousands of U.S. dams have been sitting useless for electricity, and a 3D-printed turbine could turn concrete into power
Spain threw a 42-meter buoy into the sea to make electricity, and the waves are now doing the job of a power plant
Brazil is building a 145-kilometer artificial river through Ceará, and the project could change how one of its driest regions survives drought

A high-schooler built BURT, a bionic “robot turtle” that follows autonomous search patterns and flags replicated coral bleaching with 96% accuracy, letting it monitor fragile waters without the noise and turbulence of propeller drones
While towers in London or New York can take years, a 26-story residential building in China went up in five days with about 100 workers by stacking factory-built modules, a proof point for a modular market already pegged around $95 billion annually
A billion-euro nuclear reactor driven by a particle accelerator is frozen, and a government decision could decide its fate
A tunnel between Europe and Africa is moving closer, and the 65-kilometer plan could turn ferries into the old way to cross
