Explore the list of the world’s top universities Western universities’ monopoly on the highest echelons of global academia looks increasingly shaky, with traditional powerhouse institutions relying on the enduring strength of their reputations to offset weakening research performance.
With each class update, the goal is to keep the spirit of original World of Warcraft in mind while giving players more ways to make their character feel their own. For Priests and Warriors, that work takes shape in two very different combat identities: one built around Light, Shadow, healing, and protection, and the other around weapons, Rage, stances, and battlefield momentum. The updates below are focused on broadening useful choices without moving either class away from what makes it recognizable. Priests gain wider access to important tools and new talent options that support healing, utility, and Shadow-focused damage. Warriors see adjustments that make Rage more reliable, bring certain utility forward as baseline functionality, and sharpen the role of each specialization.

CHICAGO — A federal judge has granted Paramount’s settlement agreement with 12 states that sued over the company’s takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, allowing the companies to soon close their $81 billion mega merger. In a Wednesday order, U. S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín ruled that the proposed consent decree was a “fair, reasonable, and good faith approach to address the competitive harms” alleged by the states' lawsuit. Paramount, which was bought by Skydance just last year, previously called the antitrust challenge the last hurdle ahead of closing its Warner merger.
Galaxies, vast collections of billions of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity, are scattered across the immensity of space. But every so often, a coincidence occurs: Two galaxies line up from our point of view on Earth (or from a space telescope) and appear to overlap in the sky. These rare overlapping galaxies give astronomers a chance to study something normally difficult to see: the dust inside one of these distant cosmic objects. That’s the focus of NASA’s new Overlap Zoo project. Picture the background galaxy acting like a cosmic flashlight, shining through the nearer galaxy. The backlit dust creates dark silhouettes, like shadows on a screen. By studying these silhouettes, astronomers can map how dust is distributed throughout galaxies and learn how it blocks, scatters, and dims starlight traveling through space. Measurements of how dust impacts light can even help astronomers refine estimates of the distances to faraway objects.

According to the poll conducted between August 4–18, small businesses report stable business health and cash flow. In fact, more rate their business’ health as very good compared to last quarter and seven in ten small businesses report that their business is in good health. A similar percentage report being comfortable with their cash flow (72%). Twenty-two percent are very comfortable, up from last quarter (16%) but still down from Q3 2025 (31%). While the overall Index score increased, worries over inflation and the broader business environment persist. A majority (at least 50%) of small businesses say that inflation is the biggest challenge for the third consecutive quarter. Also, small business views of the national and their local economies remain muted: Just 27% of small businesses believe that the national economy is in good health (in line with Q2 2026), while 33% say the same about their local economy (unchanged from last quarter). Additionally, slightly fewer small businesses expect increased revenue in the next year, and all future expectation measures (revenue, staffing, and investment) are well below where they were at this time last year.

Rabid bats and rattlesnakes. Mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus and dengue fever. Increased bear and mountain lion attacks. A summer full of tragic hiker deaths, many brought on by extreme heat. The news cycle has begun to resemble all those “nature rebels” movies that terrorized my childhood. And perhaps with good reason. This should not be read as a disrespect for, or diminishment of, the very real harm caused by rabies, insect-born illness, wild animals or accidents in various national parks. Fear of the wilderness and its potentially lethal native creatures is hardwired into the human brain and fueled tales of haunted forests and murderous animals throughout history. In the modern era, however, those fears reflected the anxieties of the time. The 1950s gave us the nuclear monsters of “Godzilla,” “Them!,” “The Deadly Mantis” and “The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms.” In 1963, Alfred Hitchcock’s adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s “The Birds” made ordinary creatures the menace, reminding us that humans were an outnumbered species. Then came the ‘70s and a spate of often schlocky but still unsettling films that married the two notions.
Could hydrogen be the hidden energy of tomorrow? Recent breakthroughs are strengthening the case for this natural gas—also known as “white hydrogen”—as a key energy player in a decarbonized future. In France’s Lorraine region, for example, deep drilling has uncovered significant concentrations of natural hydrogen, suggesting one of Europe’s largest potential reservoirs. Exploration is now underway to assess whether this really is the windfall it seems. And Lorraine isn’t an outlier. In Canada, scientists have detected natural hydrogen flowing from deep underground, sparking interest in further research into North America’s sedimentary basins. Meanwhile, in Africa, natural hydrogen is already being tapped at Bourakébougou, Mali, to generate electricity—a first globally. Other promising locations have been marked in Morocco, Namibia, and South Africa, where exploration programs are now taking shape.
Organizations have spent the last few years looking for answers to fundamental questions about AI: Is AI effective? Can it improve productivity? What organizational benefits does AI provide? Now, with those questions largely answered, enterprises face a new question that will ultimately determine their ability to grow their businesses and remain competitive: How can they scale AI for 20,000 or more people each day, at a cost the organization can support? The hidden cost of AI at scaleTraditional budgeting methods no longer work in today's AI economy. As quickly as AI has accelerated, so have the hidden costs of the technology. Most businesses budgeted for a known fixed-seat cost — and were surprised by high invoices when their vendors moved to a usage model. With AI, and agentic AI in particular, it can be harder for organizations to determine what they are actually paying per answer. "Agentic, retrieval-intensive workflows can require a dozen or even 20 model interactions to complete a single task," says Jason Banta, vice president of global go-to-market compute sales at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children may be associated with problems with the health of the placenta during late pregnancy, according to a new study by University of Iowa Health Care researchers. The findings, published in JAMA Psychiatry, help to identify a risk factor in pregnancy that is linked to ADHD in children, and potentially points to new treatment targets for ADHD. ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental condition that affects up to 10% of American children between the ages of 3 and 17. The symptoms of ADHD, including problems with paying attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, can negatively impact many aspects of a person's life, including academic and professional achievement. However, there is a lack of understanding about the potential causes of this neurodevelopmental condition.
