A staff member at Gangwon Technopark's New Materials Center in Gangneung explains the center-owned hot isostatic press (HIP, AIP36-72-29H), manufactured by American Isostatic Presses (AIP), to foreign correspondents in Gangneung, South Korea, on November 6, 2025. The equipment, valued at approximately 5.5 billion won (about $3.75 million), applies uniform pressure using inert gas in a high-temperature environment to produce near-theoretical-density ceramic materials and components with minimal deformation. Due to its high cost, the center provides access to companies that cannot afford to own it independently.

In Saquarema, Brazil, on September 3, 2025, an image shows a bell pepper plant (Capsicum annuum), widely used as a seasoning in Brazil, being attacked by the pest known as Tropical Mite or Broad Mite (Polyphagotarsonemus latus). This pest damages the leaves, causing deformation, holes, and inhibiting the growth of the plant and its fruits. It represents a major threat and financial loss for farmers.

The entire town of Malmberget moves in 2020/2021 due to mining activities in the area. Underground mining is cost-effective and enables a high level of mechanization and automation. However, it causes deformations in the surface ground that, beyond a certain threshold, can render it impossible to maintain any infrastructure or residential areas in those locations.
