There's a ship designed to split itself in half and dump its cargo into the ocean. It sounds ridiculous until you learn what it's carrying: sand. Not the desert sand covering vast parts of the planet. That sand is too smooth and rounded for construction. Concrete and infrastructure need... show more

🇨🇳 CHINA IS TURNING DESERT INTO FARMLAND China is bulldozing dunes flat to slow the winds that whip sand across the land. Then they plant drought-proof trees like sand willow, with roots that reach deep enough to lock the ground in place. The combo stops the desert from moving and blocks sandstorms. Every year they reclaim about 930 square miles of desert, nearly half the size of Los Angeles, and transform it into grasslands, forests, and farmland. Source: civilext_

What Happens to Dry Ice in the Desert? When dry ice touches hot sand, a large volume of carbon dioxide is released underneath it as it melts. The gas creates an air cushion that enables it to float over the sand with almost no resistance. Source: ViralManiacs

🇨🇳 CHINA IS LITERALLY STOPPING THE DESERT WITH BULLDOZERS AND TREES First they flatten the dunes so wind can’t launch sand everywhere. Then they plant millions of drought-proof trees with roots so deep they can survive a year without rain and hold the sand in place. China is reclaiming about 930 square miles of desert every year, turning it into grasslands, forests and even farmland. Source: puspa.raja589

Two kids get trapped in the sand after water entered a hole they dug at Newport Beach in California. Bystanders and eventually lifeguards jumped into action to pull the boys from the sand. “Once that sand gets wet it gets heavy. It basically buried them from their waist down. They couldn't get themselves out,” said Captain Mark Herman. This could’ve gone much worse. Source: Fox 11

Happy Airwolf Sunday! 😎 The final scene from the pilot episode, “Shadow of the Hawke” filmed at the Imperial Sand Dunes in Southern California which are the largest mass of sand dunes in the state. They really did fly this Bell 222 through sand clouds produced by explosions set off for this sequence and that’s why you see Airwolf covered in sand. There was an article written about the mechanics that had to clean the sand out of the engine filters after filming this scene. I’ll have to find the article one of these days that describes it.

To answer everyone's questions It was 80° but the wind was so strong that we never felt hot. It's so much easier to walk on sand in feetpaws Washer and dryer did their best. feetpaws will prob be a sand dispenser for the next year Also got to let the dogs out and dune board

Dark dirty water blasts into the ocean at Oceanside, California The dirty water flowing from this large pipe into the ocean is not sewage or a water main burst, it’s part of the Oceanside Harbor Dredging project The discharged water is a mixture of sand, silt and seawater is pumped through large pipes directly onto local beaches The purpose of this is The US Army Corps of Engineers regularly removes sand and silt from the Oceanside Harbor entrance to keep it safe for boats and it’s also done for shoreline replenishment

🇫🇮 THIS GIANT SAND BATTERY HEATS A WHOLE TOWN IN FINLAND It’s literally a 15-meter-tall container full of hot sand that stores enough heat to power homes, offices, and even a swimming pool for a month. When there’s extra solar or wind power, it turns that into heat and stores it in crushed soapstone at 500°C. The result? A 70% drop in emissions for the whole district. Who knew saving the planet would involve a giant sandbox? Source: James Stewart IG

Orange County California is spending $440,000 to truck in tons of new sand to help stop the eroding coast line Capistrano Beach once had volleyball courts, but those are now gone due to beach erosion This has been tried before, it didn’t work. “Staff with OC Parks say they placed 20,000 cubic yards of sand at this beach in 2024, but by the fall of 2025, it was gone, leaving the nearby railroad tracks and homes at risk, jeopardizing the region's most valuable asset, its beaches.” They’ve come up with a solution. Raise taxes on everyone to keep trying “Residents in San Clemente are considering a 1% sales tax increase that would in part go to funding projects like this one” This project will have about 30 trucks per day, each carrying 25 tons through mid-June Here’s what they don’t tell you. This is a man made problem Dams on rivers upstream) trap 2/3 of the natural sand that used to replenish beaches. Development and coastal seawalls block cliff erosion that once supplied sand Trucking sand is expensive and always temporary. Waves typically move it offshore or down the coast within months to a year. It’s a band-aid

At the American Cemetery in Normandy, where rows of white marble headstones stretch farther than the eye can see, I can't help but think of my own family... of fathers, of grandfathers, of men who wore the uniform and answered the call. On that sacred French ground, something quietly powerful happens. 🙏 Caretakers, local volunteers, devoted staff— and historians, move with purpose and respect. They kneel beside each headstone and gently rub sand from Omaha Beach into the engraved letters. I imagine those grains of sand still holding the weight of that day... June 6, 1944. The names come into focus. Clearer. Stronger. Alive again. And I stood there, even if only in my mind, thinking how something so simple could carry so much meaning. I found it so honorable that people-many who never knew these men-would take the time to make sure their names are seen, remembered, and never lost to time. It made me think about those young men— many not much older than boys-who stormed that beach, who never made it back home. Men like the ones in my own family... cut from the same cloth of duty, courage, and love of country. That sand is more than a symbol. It's a bridge. 🙏🇺🇸

“We literally, with AI, have a technology that transfers sand into thought.” Marc Andreessen on why AI is the philosopher’s stone: “The early scientists, including Isaac Newton, were super obsessed with this concept of alchemy.” “Alchemy was the transmutation of lead into gold. Which meant the transmutation of something that was very common, which was lead, into something that was very rare and valuable, which was gold.” “The most common thing in the world, which is sand, converted into the most rare thing in the world, which is thought.” “And so AI is the philosopher’s stone.” Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 on Lenny's Podcast with Lenny Rachitsky

Someone please notify Abiy Ahmed to come collect his 5-star Cruiser. Leaving that thing in the desert 🏜️ is disrespectful… to the desert itself. The sand didn’t sign up for this level of embarrassment and that Red Sea dream didn’t drown… it got stranded in the middle of nowhere (lost direction). #FreeTheDesert #redsea #HighEndLowMoment #Africa #Somalia #Eritrea #Assab #EastAfrica

A new Beta is about to open up. It looks to be a "Sea of Thieves" but in a vast, sandy desert with "Tramplers" being your base and mode of transportation. I think it looks like a really neat idea and setting. You can request access to the beta on the steam store - SAND

Members of the Believers Worship Center, popularly known as the Philadelphia Movement rush to fetch sand from the premises of the newly constructed church auditorium, with the belief that it is a holy ground and possesses miracle inducing properties.

Russian scientists turn sand into stone using bacteria to build roads in the Arctic The newly developed method uses naturally occurring bacteria to produce calcium carbonate, which binds sand particles together like glue — creating a durable foundation for roads and industrial facilities 🟠 The bacteria are extracted from coastal soils and mixed with a nutrient solution, triggering the formation of calcite crystals that fill gaps between sand grains 🟠 Lab tests showed the treated soil becomes strong and resistant to water erosion 🟠 The method is designed specifically for the Arctic, where repeated freezing and thawing often deform conventional roads and pipelines 🟠 The technology can also bind heavy metals and radioactive elements, making it useful for cleaning contaminated sites The innovation could offer a sustainable, low-cost solution for building in harsh northern environments — without harming the fragile Arctic ecosystem.
