A terrestrial "hydrogen cannon" aims to launch satellites at Mach 17: the system has already surpassed Mach 3 in a 16. 5-meter tube and aims to transform extreme pressure, water vapor, and launch without a traditional rocket into a new route for light payloads to reach orbit.
10+ hour, 45+ min ago (811+ words) The proposal is to replace part of the work normally done by the first stages of rockets, reducing costs and decreasing the consumption of propellants during access to space. Green Launch's technology is based on a concept known as a…...
Volvo FH 2026 truck automatically reduces speed in risk areas in Brazil with GPS, activates engine brake without driver intervention, and combines safety with aerodynamics capable of saving up to 3% of diesel in some operations.
8+ hour, 36+ min ago (1650+ words) Road Transport, Science and Technology The Volvo FH 2026 truck now features in Brazil a technology capable of automatically reducing its speed when entering areas previously classified as critical by the carrier. Launched by Volvo in May 2026, Safety Zones uses GPS…...

Giant tunnel boring machine Mary completes mission underwater in a $3. 9 billion project in the USA, drills the bay in a historic crossing, and paves the way for new tunnels that promise to relieve one of Virginia's most congested corridors.
6+ day, 5+ hour ago (1514+ words) The machine ended a journey of about three miles under the Hampton Roads Harbor, in a project estimated at $3. 9 billion and pointed out by the Virginia Department of Transportation as the largest road project in the state's history. The completion…...
End of blind excavation: artificial intelligence detects pipes, cables, rocks, and voids before construction begins and promises to avoid million-dollar losses hidden underground.
6+ day, 8+ hour ago (954+ words) The end of blind excavation begins before the first machine touches the ground. Artificial intelligence used in underground mapping can already gather sensor data to indicate where pipes, cables, rocks, groundwater, and hidden voids might be underground. This technology targets…...
The bridge that collapsed in seconds after being hit by a ship in Baltimore will be reborn as a cable-stayed bridge: Maryland signed $4. 8 billion in four contracts for a 508-meter span specifically designed to withstand the impact of a giant cargo ship.
1+ week, 1+ day ago (903+ words) The decision changes the project's strategy. Instead of a single giant contract, the MDTA divided the reconstruction into four separate packages. The largest of these is the design-build of the main span, estimated between $3. 5 and $4 billion. End of the tape…...
A 400-meter colossus powered by natural gas has just set sail from Shanghai to Europe, carrying over 24, 000 containers. It is the world's largest dual-fuel container ship and can cross the planet without refueling even once.
