Jeddah Tower JEC Construction Update August 2026
Crews in Jeddah have pushed the Jeddah Tower, previously known as the JEC Tower, past another hard-won mark. The structure now stands 430 meters high with 107 floors finished, a clear signal that the long-stalled project has regained serious momentum. Roughly 570 meters of concrete and steel still need to rise before the tower reaches its planned height of more than one kilometer. When that day arrives, it will become the first building on Earth to cross that threshold and will take the title of world’s tallest from Dubai’s Burj Khalifa.

Samsung took a hard look at how people actually use big foldable screens and decided the tall, narrow shape everyone had gotten used to was not the full story.

Styrofoam Polystyrene to Gasoline Fuel
Most people toss old packaging foam in the trash without a second look. Joel from the Lowered Expectations channel decided to turn a pile of it into something that powers a small engine instead. His recent experiment starts with ordinary closed-cell extruded polystyrene, the same light material used for shipping and insulation, and ends with a liquid that lights off in a generator and produces real electricity.
