Prosus profit more than doubles on e-commerce growth and rising Tencent stake value

Dutch tech investment company Prosus NV reported that its profit more than doubled in the last fiscal year, surpassing analyst expectations. The strong results were driven by growth across its e-commerce portfolio and an increase in the value of its stake in Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings. Prosus continues to pursue its strategy of investing in technology firms across global emerging markets.

Does Prosus's reliance on its Tencent stake pose a risk to investors?

Verona traffic light didn't melt in the heat – the real cause was different

A video circulating online purports to show a melted traffic light in Verona, Italy, during the recent European heatwave. However, analysis indicates the damage was caused by something other than the heat, making the clip misleading. While temperatures in the region were high, they were not sufficient to melt a metal traffic signal.

Should media verify viral videos more quickly before publishing them?

Why we get sick at the start of holidays: the "let-down effect" explained

Despite summer heat, colds and infections remain common, especially at the very start of holidays. Scientists point to the so-called "let-down effect": as the body shifts from stress mode to relaxation, the immune system temporarily lowers its guard. This makes the first days of a holiday a prime time for catching respiratory infections and stomach bugs.

Is the let-down effect the main reason people fall ill at the start of holidays?

A star passed near the Sun 2.5 million years ago, sending more comets our way

Scientists from the Planetary Science Institute in the US and the University of Bordeaux have determined that a star passed close to the Sun roughly 2.5 million years ago. The encounter's effects are still visible today in the form of an elevated number of comets entering the inner Solar System. The stellar flyby is believed to have gravitationally disturbed the Oort Cloud, deflecting many comets toward the Sun.

Neuroscientist Lisa Genova: everyday forgetting is not an Alzheimer's warning sign

Neuroscientist Lisa Genova dispels the widespread fear that ordinary forgetting is an early warning sign of Alzheimer's disease. She uses the example of a retired Japanese engineer who memorised over 111,000 digits of pi using storytelling and visualisation, yet forgot his wife's birthday. In a 58-minute lecture, she explains how to protect the brain and distinguish normal memory lapses from disease.

Should everyday forgetfulness prompt us to get tested for Alzheimer's?

Watling's "Statecraft" review: US made critical errors in the conflict with Iran

Jack Watling's new book "Statecraft: The New Rules of Power in a Divided World" (Macmillan, 2026) analyses the failures of US foreign policy during the conflict with Iran. Watling argues that sound statecraft requires the integrated use of all instruments of state power to achieve international goals. He concludes that the current US administration is unlikely to conduct an honest assessment of its many shortcomings in the Iran campaign.

Should the US publicly account for its failures in the conflict with Iran?

Bang & Olufsen has released the Beosystem 3000c in a Dune Grey Edition, blending high-quality audio with exceptional design aesthetics. The reviewer highlights a split in today's audio market between convenient gadgets and devices that are also beautiful objects. The Beosystem 3000c falls firmly in the latter camp, aimed at listeners who treat hi-fi equipment as a collector's item.
