🚨BREAKING: SpaceX wants to send one million people to Mars by 2050 using thousands of Starship rockets. Meet Starship, the fully reusable rocket built to make that number real. The system is designed for up to 30 launches a day, with boosters that return to Earth minutes after liftoff and rapid refueling that turns one rocket into thousands of trips. Built to haul millions of tonnes of cargo and the people who follow it.

Disney shared a new look at the The Lion King-themed area coming to Disney Adventure World at Disneyland Paris! Guests will experience Simba’s journey through a retelling of the original film, featuring cutting-edge effects, next-generation Audio-Animatronics, and more.

Architect Antoni Gaudí designed the Sagrada Família so that its central Tower of Jesus Christ would rise prominently above the basilica, while remaining lower than the mountain of Montjuïc out of respect for God's creation, reflecting his belief that no human achievement should surpass the work of the Creator.

On June 10, 1926, Antoni Gaudí died in Barcelona. In 2026, 100 years later, his legacy remains inseparable from Sagrada Família — the unfinished basilica that became the defining work of his life. A century after his death, Gaudí’s architecture still shapes the identity of Barcelona and continues to influence architects, designers, and admirers around the world.

Professor Omar Yaghi, a chemist at the University of California, Berkeley and winner of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, has developed an innovative atmospheric water generator capable of producing up to 1,000 liters of clean drinking water per day directly from dry air. Using reticular chemistry and advanced metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), the system efficiently captures moisture even in arid desert conditions with very low humidity. The compact, shipping-container-sized units developed by Yaghi’s company, Atoco, operate entirely off-grid using only ultra-low-grade ambient thermal energy or sunlight, requiring no electricity from the grid. This sustainable technology offers a promising alternative to energy-intensive desalination plants, which often harm marine ecosystems through brine discharge. It is particularly valuable for remote communities, drought-prone regions, and areas affected by natural disasters such as hurricanes in the Caribbean, where centralized water infrastructure may fail. Yaghi’s personal experience growing up with water scarcity in a refugee community in Jordan has deeply influenced his work. He advocates for scaling decentralized, resilient solutions to address the global water crisis through scientific innovation.
