The US stock market took a tumble early in August 2024 as fears rose of an economic slowdown. Then a few days later calm was restored, reminding us how quickly things can change in the financial world.
Sports-related concussions (SRC) may not be associated with long-term cognitive risks for non-professional athletes, a new study suggests. In fact, study participants who had experienced an SRC had better cognitive performance in some areas than those who had never suffered a concussion, pointing to potential protective effects of sports participation.
Researchers have developed ultra-flexible brain probes that accurately record brain activity without causing tissue damage. This opens up new avenues for the treatment of a range of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders.
Donald Trump hasn't been able to land any particularly effective attacks on Kamala Harris since she became the Democratic nominee, and he almost seems to have given up trying.

Wastewater treatment could be more effective using foamed plastic carriers in the moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) process, a research team has found. Their study showed that biofilm formation increased by 44 times compared with smooth plastic carriers.
Five Bangladeshi nationals were apprehended and pushed back from Assam's Karimganj district. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma noted that Assam Police are vigilant along the Indo-Bangladesh border to prevent infiltration. Since recent unrest in Bangladesh, around 50 infiltrators have been identified and sent back. Security measures are being increased in Karimganj district.

Officials said one person was in custody and alive in relation to a shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia.
Applications to join the ballot will be opened first to the many UK fans who were unsuccessful in the initial sale with Ticketmaster, the band said
A study mapped genes linked to schizophrenia and uncovered a mechanism that disrupts synaptic plasticity in affected individuals. The researchers showed the role of three proteins in mediating the impairments of plasticity in schizophrenia. The findings may hold promise for the development of new treatments.
Netflix on Wednesday announced a straight-to-series order for an adaptation of Midnight Sun, author Stephenie Meyer’s 2020 companion piece for her well-known Twilight novels. Midnight Sun retells the events of Twilight from the perspective of Edward Cullen, the vampire character played on film by Robert Pattinson, as opposed to the Twilight novels’ usual narrator, Bella Swan (Kristen […]
"I just want to give my family the same comfort that they've given me all my life," Zoya Biglary told Newsweek.
Photosynthesis can take place in nature even at extremely low light levels. This is the result of a study that investigated the development of Arctic microalgae at the end of the polar night. The study shows that photosynthesis in the ocean is possible under much lower light conditions, and can therefore take place at much greater depths, than previously assumed.
British luxury fashion house Burberry Group dropped out of the U.K.'s FTSE 100 amid mounting pressure on the 168-year-old retailer.
Bangladesh remained in ninth position and behind Pakistan despite gaining 13 rating points
Scientists have identified a molecular intermediate of a serotonin receptor that is involved in diseases such as depression and schizophrenia. The study points to a potentially new target for therapeutics.
Special features of the Arctic climate, such as the strong reflection of the sun's rays off the light snow or the low position of the sun, amplify global warming in the Arctic. However, researchers are often faced with the challenge of modelling the underlying climatic processes in order to be able to provide reliable weather forecasts. Scientists succeeded in precisely measuring the movement of air masses from and to the Arctic. This will contribute to a better understanding of the processes accelerating climate change in the region.
Lingling, 35, took her best on the bench press from 121kg in February to 123kg in Paris with Britain's Zoe Newson in second place, 14kg lighter with her leading effort. Lingling's contributions in front of a vocal but half-empty La Chapelle Arena kept her country atop the overall medal table at Paris 2024. "I am very excited and happy, and the atmosphere at the stadium was also very inspiring to me," Lingling said. "The Chinese government spends a lot of money training people. "So China will...

Some per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are poorly degradable and are also known as 'forever chemicals'. They adversely affect health and can lead to liver damage, obesity, hormonal disorders, and cancer. A research team has investigated the effects of PFAS on the brain. Using a combination of modern molecular biology methods and the zebrafish model, the researchers revealed the mechanism of action and identified the genes involved.
Mr Darmanin, in an extraordinary outburst, called for a UK-EU migration treaty to curb crossings in the wake of 12 deaths off the coast of Cap Gris-Nez on Tuesday.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says one person is in custody in connection to a shooting at Apalachee High School in Barrow County, Georgia. Kathy Guider, a retired FBI agent, joins CBS News with more on what students may encounter during an active school shooting.
Rain and water in ponds and lakes slowly seeps into the soil, moving through minute cracks to refill underground aquifers. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often described as forever chemicals, can tag along into groundwater that's later removed for drinking. Researchers analyzed water from over 100 wells in Denmark for one particularly persistent PFAS: trifluoroacetate. They report steadily increasing levels of the forever chemical in recent decades.
