What do ADHS, sex, cocaine, nova explosions, spiders and seismology have in common? There are all topics we wrote and you read in 2024. As with any other year, 2024 saw its fair share of good and bad stories. But we pride ourselves at DW Science on bringing you a constructive take on developments, whether it's in health and medicine, psychology or archeology. We've seen major leaps in artificial intelligence , neuroscience, and in the fight against antimicrobial resistance . Here's our nine most read stories, starting at the top: 1. ADHD: Did the condition help our ancestors survive? Commonly called a disorder, ADHD may have helped our ancestors find food and survive. DW reporter Hannah Fuchs found an innovative study that asked participants to pick berries and led to the conclusion that the more ADHD symptoms a person had, the more berries they collected. Read the article to find out how that helped early hunter-gatherers and today's understanding of ADHD. 2. Nova explosion without a telescope September's nova explosion of T Coronae Borealis — 3,000 light years from Earth — promised to be a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event. A nova explosion is the dramatic instance of a star exploding as it interacts with another, nearby star. If you missed the event, read Fred Schwaller's article to find out more. And if you're short on time, watch our resident physicist Sushmitha Ramakrishnan explain the "Blaze Star" phenomenon on TikTok. 3. The hymen uncovered Is an intact hymen a sign of virginity in women? No — that's a myth that's caused harm to young women all over the world. Sex and the Body creator, Lea Albrecht, explained how hymens come in different shapes and why it's impossible to tell whether a woman is a virgin by examining it. The hymen – A marker of virginity?

The idea that one country could edge under another may seem strange at first, but in the case of India and China, it has, in fact, been happening for the past 50 million years. It's all down to tectonics, as Julia Vergin wrote in November. And it's fascinating when you think that the two most populous countries on Earth are in a "tug of war" which neither can control. 5. How the German cockroach conquered the world Germany claims to have given the world a number of things, from X-ray vision to the no-speed-limit-autobahn. But the humble cockroach? Alexander Freund wrote in May that it took a team of scientists in Singapore and the DNA of 281 cockroaches from 17 countries on five continents to discover the truth. 6. The eye of the... spider! Our weekly Science show, Tomorrow Today, loves to answer questions from viewers, and this one was especially popular: How did spider eyes evolve? As Cornelia Borrmann explained in this wonderful video, the development of spider eyes is controlled by the same genes as in other animals. How did spider eyes evolve?

The ongoing threat of mpox In August, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global health emergency. A new version of the mpox virus had emerged in Central Africa and was spreading among children and adults in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and neighboring countries. We explained what mpox is, how it spreads and how it can be prevented — there's a vaccine for it, but it's often unavailable where it's needed most. 8. 'Promise' of a cocaine vaccine? On the face of it, the idea of using a drug to mitigate the effects of another drug is about as weird as reading that India is edging under China (see above) — couldn't you could just stop taking the drug you're trying to mitigate? Easier said than done, when the drug is highly addictive, like cocaine. Aline Spantig explained why cocaine is so addictive and why researchers in Brazil were investigating whether inhibiting cocaine's effects with a vaccine was a good way to get people off the drug. 9. New research aims to help people with dyslexia Dyslexia has little to say about a person's intellect or creativity — many famous intellects and creatives have had dyslexia: Albert Einstein, Ludwig van Beethoven, Agatha Christie, Whoopi Goldberg... the list goes on. That said, scientists are still trying to work out what exactly causes it. In 2024, Alexander Freund wrote that new research showed for the first time how dyslexia was linked to the visual thalamus , a brain region important for emotion, memory, and language among other things. The findings may help develop better treatment and support. We hope you enjoyed our stories in 2024 and that you'll join us again in 2025. Remember you can always send us a comment, or ask us to answer your questions about science, health and technology. We look forward to hearing from you! Edited by: Fred SchwallerIn context: Google does not want to sell off Chrome, which the U.S. government has proposed, so it has countered with its own suggestion about how to remedy its outsized and – according to a recent ruling – illegal domination of the online search market. Google is proposing to modify its agreements with Apple and other partners regarding default search engine settings on new devices. This comes in response to a recent U.S. ruling that found the tech giant unlawfully dominating the online search market. Google's proposal, submitted to U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta in Washington, suggests a more limited approach compared to the government's push for more drastic measures. It aims to address the court's concerns while urging caution against interventions that could potentially stifle innovation, especially in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence and its impact on online services, including search engines. While the company plans to appeal the ruling that it holds an illegal monopoly in online search and related advertising, it suggests that the upcoming "remedies" phase should focus primarily on its distribution agreements. These agreements, which the judge found to give Google a "major, largely unseen advantage over its rivals," have resulted in most U.S. devices coming pre-loaded with Google's search engine. To address this, Google proposes making the agreements non-exclusive, particularly for Android manufacturers, and unbundling the Play Store from Chrome and search for Android phone manufacturers. Additionally, the company suggests allowing browser developers to annually reconsider Google as the default search engine. Notably, Google's proposal does not include ending revenue-sharing agreements, which provide a portion of ad revenue to device and software companies that set Google as the default search engine. These agreements have been crucial for independent browser developers like Mozilla, with Apple reportedly receiving an estimated $20 billion from its agreement with Google in 2022 alone. The proposal has already faced criticism from competitors. Kamyl Bazbaz, spokesperson for search engine competitor DuckDuckGo, argued that Google's suggestions attempt to maintain the status quo and fall short of truly restoring competition in the affected markets. In contrast to Google's more limited approach, the U.S. Department of Justice and a coalition of states are seeking more extensive remedies. These include forcing Google to sell off Chrome and potentially its Android mobile operating system, stopping Google from paying to be the default search engine, ceasing investments in search rivals and query-based AI products, and licensing Google's search results and technology to rivals. Google maintains that the government's proposed remedies are extreme and don't properly reflect the specific conduct found to be illegal by the judge. The company argues that courts have historically discouraged such drastic measures and that remedies should be of the "same type or class" as the violations. Lee-Anne Mulholland, Google's vice president for regulatory affairs, emphasized that the company's proposal would allow competing browsers like Apple's Safari to have the freedom to partner with any search engine they deem best for their users. Google also proposes allowing device makers to preload multiple search engines and not requiring them to include Chrome and Google search if they want to include other Google apps. As the case progresses, Judge Mehta has scheduled a proceeding in April to decide on appropriate measures to address the lack of competition in the industries Google has dominated. This trial will see prosecutors calling witnesses from OpenAI, AI search startup Perplexity, and Microsoft. A final decision is expected by August 2025.
Galaxy aim to complete journey back to top in MLS Cup final
Unai Emery felt his Aston Villa side restored confidence by returning to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Brentford in the Premier League. Morgan Rogers’ fourth goal of the season, an Ollie Watkins penalty and Matty Cash’s finish put Villa 3-0 up after 34 minutes. Mikkel Damsgaard pulled one back for Brentford in the second half but the damage had been done as Villa ended their eight-match winless run in all competitions. Emery was relieved to end the unwanted streak but quickly turned his attention to the next fixture against Southampton on Saturday. “We broke a spell of bad results we were having,” the Villa boss said. “We started the first five or 10 minutes not in control of the game but then progressively we controlled. “Today we achieved those three points and it has given us confidence again but even like that it’s not enough. We have to keep going and think about the next match against Southampton on Saturday. “The message was try to focus on each match, try to forget the table. How we can recover confidence and feel comfortable at home. Today was a fantastic match.” Tyrone Mings returned to the starting line-up in the Premier League for the first time since August 2023. Emery admitted it has been a long road back for the 31-year-old and is pleased to have him back. He added: “Mings played in the Champions league but it’s the first time in the league for a year and three months. “I think he played fantastic – he might be tired tomorrow but will be ready for Saturday again. “It was very, very long, the injury he had. His comeback is fantastic for him and everybody, for the doctor and physio and now he’s training everyday.” Brentford fell to a sixth away defeat from seven games and have picked up only a solitary point on the road this season. They have the best home record in the league, with 19 points from seven matches, but they have the joint worst away record. Bees boss Thomas Frank is confident form will improve on the road. He said: “On numbers we can’t argue we are better at home than away, but on numbers it’s a coincidence. I think two of the seven away games have been bad. “The other games we performed well in big spells. I’m confident at the end of the season we will have some wins away from home.” Frank felt Villa should not have been given a penalty when Ethan Pinnock brought Watkins down. He added: “I want to argue the penalty. I don’t think it is (one). I think Ollie kicked back and hit Ethan, yes there is an arm on the shoulder but threshold and all that – but that’s not the reason we lost.”
Amid a potato crisis, the Odisha Food and Civil Supplies Minister on Saturday stated that the State would not make any requests to the West Bengal government to supply the tuber. The statement from the minister came just two days after the West Bengal government reportedly halted all potato exports from its side. The decision had led to several potato-laden trucks being stranded along the West Bengal-Odisha border near Belda after being denied permission to cross. Taking a firm note of the situation, Odisha ’s Food Supply Minister Krushna Chandra Patra announced that it will no longer request potatoes from West Bengal. However, if West Bengal sends potatoes on its own, the state will accept them. ALSO READ: Potato-laden trucks stranded at WB border: Odisha Food Supplies Minister targets Naveen Patnaik Speaking to the media, the minister further clarified that Odisha is not facing a potato shortage and thus does not need to rely on the neighbouring state. Continuing further, Patra also added that sufficient stock of potatoes from Uttar Pradesh has already started arriving in Odisha, ensuring no chance of a shortage. Besides, he stated the state government was also in touch with the Punjab government to ensure a steady supply of potatoes. “We are not going to have any talks with Mamata Banerjee . She stated in the media that her government will not send potatoes to Odisha so there is no point in talking to her. Potatoes can come from Uttar Pradesh or Punjab,” said Krushna Chandra Patra. ALSO READ: Paddy procurement for Kharif season: Odisha farmers to get money within 48 hours The Food Supply Minister also said that potato prices in Odisha’s market have remained stable. Additionally, he also warned against hoarding and black marketing, stating that strict action would be taken if potatoes were sold at inflated rates.

One of them is Carlos Costa of IMG fame, who started as Nadal’s agent and eventually became his business partner. Costa has been associated with Nadal since he was 16 when he didn’t even properly make it on the ATP Tour. On social media, Costa went viral with his post for which he took a lot of effort and love to showcase it to the world. The post included a caption in which he expressed gratitude for getting to work with Nadal for 22 years in the ‘world’s best tournaments’. The picture had all of Costa’s ID cards till date, which are required to be worn by each member of a particular player’s box as well as their representatives. Those cards are arguably Costa’s most prized possessions. Costa has played a vital role in the 22-time Grand Slam champion’s material success but is more proud of Nadal, the person. Nadal’s values throughout his career have not changed, as he is someone who doesn’t like change within his setup and values loyalty. Apart from relieving uncle Toni Nadal in 2017 from his coaching duties, his core team has remained pretty much the same, and this included Costa. It is this continuity that helped Nadal to earn more than just prize money at the peak of his playing career. Costa is the man who is the key to the former World No.1 still having sponsors like Kia Motors, Nike and Babolat, who have backed him since the start. Eventually, Costa made him diversify from prize money and endorsements into businesses and other investments so much that his net worth is reportedly said to be beyond $320 million today . After his retirement, Nadal will be continuing with Costa since they co-own Hi7tory, an athlete and event management company that is responsible for growing and funding Rafa Nadal Academy branches across the world. Costa also plays a vital role in ensuring that the Rafa Nadal Foundation is taken care of. Little did Costa know that he would go on to become a successful businessperson after failing to reach his potential as a professional tennis player. When Costa tried to put Spanish tennis on the world map before Nadal A six-time ATP title winner in singles, Carlos Costa played professional tennis for 11 years. In doubles too, he has won 5 titles. His prize money earnings in his tennis career came up to $3,134,189. But his most famous win was at the Stockholm Open in 1993 when he defeated the eventual 14-time Grand Slam champion, Pete Sampras on clay. Costa won that match 7-6 (7-1), 2-6, 6-1, and was a major deal in the tennis world. The surface was an indoor carpet surface, and it suited Costa. Costa never won a Grand Slam title but nevertheless contributed a lot to Nadal winning 22 of them. While the Spanish legend might not publicly credit him often, he is the first person to admit that Costa’s influence behind the scenes worked wonders for him. Nadal and Costa’s equation shows that money is important but must never supersede relations and the game. This is something that aspiring young players must look to emulate.DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Iranian authorities have lifted a ban on Meta’s instant messaging platform WhatsApp and Google Play as a first step to scale back internet restrictions, Iranian state media reported on Tuesday, December 24. The Islamic Republic has some of the strictest controls on Internet access in the world, but its blocks on US-based social media such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are routinely bypassed by tech-savvy Iranians using virtual private networks. “A positive majority vote has been reached to lift limitations on access to some popular foreign platforms such as WhatsApp and Google Play”, Iran’s official IRNA news agency said on Tuesday, referring to a meeting on the matter headed by President Masoud Pezeshkian. “Today the first step in removing internet limitations... has been taken,” IRNA cited Iran’s Minister of Information and Communications Technology Sattar Hashemi as saying. Social media platforms were widely used in anti-government protests in Iran. In September the United States called on Big Tech to help evade online censorship in countries that heavily sensor the internet, including Iran. – Rappler.com
