NEW YORK >> Wall Street closed sharply lower today, with the Dow falling over 1,100 points after the U.S. Federal Reserve delivered a rate cut as expected but signaled it will ease the pace of further cuts in the coming year. For the Dow it was its tenth consecutive daily loss, marking its longest losing streak since 1974 and its biggest daily percentage decline since early August. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 also logged their largest one-day drops in months. Benchmark Treasury yields moved higher on the news, and the dollar gained. “Let’s not forget, you tend to get knee-jerk reactions on Fed Day and then cooler heads prevail the next day,” said Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group in Omaha. “The reality is still we have a strong economy and a Fed that is by no means looking to hike any time soon. There are still cuts, likely coming just a little later in 2025.” As expected, the Federal Open Market Committee cut the Fed funds target rate by 25 basis points at the conclusion of its final policy meeting of 2024. But the central bank also reduced the number of projected rate cuts in the coming year. The policymakers now expect two interest rate cuts by the end of 2025, down from four in September, and set up the likelihood of a pause in January. “The Fed didn’t throw any curveballs, right? They cut as expected, and they’re using language hinting at fewer cuts next year and into 2026,” Detrick added. “The market was holding out hope that maybe there’d be a little more dovishness to the statement, but that wasn’t the case.” In his subsequent press conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell offered assurances that the economy is strong, inflation has come closer to the 2% goal, and monetary policy is well-positioned to deal with risks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1,123.03 points, or 2.58%, to 42,326.87; the S&P 500 fell 178.57 points, or 2.95%, to 5,872.03; and the Nasdaq Composite fell 716.37 points, or 3.56%, to 19,392.69. Earlier, European shares closed modestly higher, buoyed by technology stocks and French automaker Renault, but gains were held in check ahead of the Fed’s rate decision. Yields for 10-year U.S. Treasuries gained after the Fed flagged the slower pace of easing. The yield on benchmark U.S. 10-year notes rose 11.3 basis points to 4.498%, from 4.385% late on Tuesday. The 30-year bond yield rose 7.3 basis points to 4.6525% from 4.579% late on Tuesday. The 2-year note yield, which typically moves in step with interest rate expectations for the Federal Reserve, rose 10.5 basis points to 4.346%, from 4.241% late on Tuesday. The dollar extended its gains against a basket of world currencies as investors digested the Fed’s revised outlook. The dollar index rose 1.09% to 108.09, with the euro down 1.13% at $1.037. Against the Japanese yen, the dollar strengthened 0.76% to 154.63. Bitcoin accelerated its losses after Powell said the Fed has no desire to hold the cryptocurrency amid debate over whether the incoming Trump administration might build a bitcoin reserve. Bitcoin fell 5.17% to $100,916.00. Ethereum declined 6.14% to $3,692.50. Oil prices settled higher in the wake of the Fed’s decision. U.S. crude rose 0.71% to settle at $70.58 a barrel, while Brent settled at $73.39 a barrel, up 0.27% on the day. Gold fell in opposition to the greenback. Spot gold fell 1.94% to $2,594.24 an ounce. U.S. gold futures fell 2.05% to $2,590.20 an ounce.
DPRK must cease its support for Russia’s illegal war in Ukraine: UK statement at the UN Security CouncilSouth Africa back-rower Pieter-Steph du Toit was named best men's player in the 15-a-side game while France's Antoine Dupont took the Sevens award at the World Rugby Awards in Monaco on Sunday. It it the second time Du Toit, 32, has picked up the accolade following his success in 2019. He came out ahead of two of his Springbok teammates Eben Etzebeth, who was nominated for a third time, and Cheslin Kolbe, as well as Ireland's Caelan Doris. He succeeds New Zealander Ardie Savea. A world champion with the Boks in 2019 and 2023, Du Toit was again in outstanding form in 2024, a key member of the side that won the Rugby Championship for the first time in five years, finishing with five wins and one defeat. During the November tour, they easily disposed of Scotland and Wales and also beat England at Twickenham. Du Toit, who has 86 caps, joins New Zealand fly-half Beauden Barrett as a double winner of the award with All Black greats Dan Carter and Richie McCaw winning three times each. France captain Antoine Dupont, who won the 15-a-side award in 2021, became the first man to win both categories when he was named Sevens player of the year for his role in helping France to the gold medal at the Paris Olympics. England back Ellie Kildunne, who scored 14 tries in 10 matches, won the women's 15-a-side award with Australia's Maddison Levi named as best Sevens player. The winners in this category were chosen by a panel made up of ex-players, coaches and journalistsNEW YORK (AP) — Technology stocks pulled Wall Street to another record amid a mixed Monday of trading. The S&P 500 rose 0.2% from its all-time high set on Friday to post a record for the 54th time this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 128 points, or 0.3%, while the Nasdaq composite gained 1%. Super Micro Computer, a stock that’s been on an AI-driven roller coaster, soared 28.7% to lead the market. Following allegations of misconduct and the resignation of its public auditor , the maker of servers used in artificial-intelligence technology said an investigation found no evidence of misconduct by its management or by the company’s board. It also said that it doesn’t expect to restate its past financials and that it will find a new chief financial officer, appoint a general counsel and make other moves to strengthen its governance. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up the market. Gains of 1.8% for Microsoft and 3.2% for Meta Platforms were the two strongest forces pushing upward on the S&P 500. Intel was another propellant during the morning, but it lost an early gain to fall 0.5% after the chip company said CEO Pat Gelsinger has retired and stepped down from the board. Intel is looking for Gelsinger’s replacement, and its chair said it’s “committed to restoring investor confidence.” Intel recently lost its spot in the Dow Jones Industrial Average to Nvidia, which has skyrocketed in Wall Street’s frenzy around AI. Stellantis, meanwhile, skidded following the announcement of its CEO’s departure . Carlos Tavares steps down after nearly four years in the top spot of the automaker, which owns car brands like Jeep, Citroën and Ram, amid an ongoing struggle with slumping sales and an inventory backlog at dealerships. The world’s fourth-largest automaker’s stock fell 6.3% in Milan. The majority of stocks in the S&P 500 likewise fell, including California utility PG&E. It dropped 5% after saying it would sell $2.4 billion of stock and preferred shares to raise cash. Retailers were mixed amid what’s expected to be the best Cyber Monday on record and coming off Black Friday . Target, which recently gave a forecast for the holiday season that left investors discouraged , fell 1.2%. Walmart , which gave a more optimistic forecast, rose 0.2%. Amazon, which looks to benefit from online sales from Cyber Monday, climbed 1.4%. All told, the S&P 500 added 14.77 points to 6,047.15. The Dow fell 128.65 to 44,782.00, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 185.78 to 19,403.95. The stock market largely took Donald Trump’s latest threat on tariffs in stride. The president-elect on Saturday threatened 100% tariffs against a group of developing economies if they act to undermine the U.S. dollar. Trump said he wants the group, headlined by Brazil, Russia, India and China, to promise it won’t create a new currency or otherwise try to undercut the U.S. dollar. The dollar has long been the currency of choice for global trade. Speculation has also been around a long time that other currencies could knock it off its mantle, but no contender has come close. The U.S. dollar’s value rose Monday against several other currencies, but one of its strongest moves likely had less to do with the tariff threats. The euro fell amid a political battle in Paris over the French government’s budget . The euro sank 0.7% against the U.S. dollar and broke below $1.05. In the bond market, Treasury yields gave up early gains to hold relatively steady. The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed above 4.23% during the morning before falling back to 4.19%. That was just above its level of 4.18% late Friday. A report in the morning showed the U.S. manufacturing sector contracted again last month, but not by as much as economists expected. This upcoming week will bring several big updates on the job market, including the October job openings report, weekly unemployment benefits data and the all-important November jobs report. They could steer the next moves for Federal Reserve, which recently began pulling interest rates lower to give support to the economy. Economists expect Friday’s headliner report to show U.S. employers accelerated their hiring in November, coming off October’s lackluster growth that was hampered by damaging hurricanes and strikes. “We now find ourselves in the middle of this Goldilocks zone, where economic health supports earnings growth while remaining weak enough to justify potential Fed rate cuts,” according to Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide. In financial markets abroad, Chinese stocks led gains worldwide as monthly surveys showed improving conditions for manufacturing, partly driven by a surge in orders ahead of Trump’s inauguration next month. Both official and private sector surveys of factory managers showed strong new orders and export orders, possibly partly linked to efforts by importers in the U.S. to beat potential tariff hikes by Trump once he takes office. Indexes rose 0.7% in Hong Kong and 1.1% in Shanghai. AP Business Writers Matt Ott and Elaine Kurtenbach contributed.
Lennar Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2024 ResultsDecember 18, 2024 This article has been reviewed according to Science X's editorial process and policies . Editors have highlightedthe following attributes while ensuring the content's credibility: fact-checked trusted source proofread by Ames National Laboratory Imagine if we could take the energy of the sun, put it in a container, and use it to provide green, sustainable power for the world. Creating commercial fusion power plants would essentially make this idea a reality. However, there are several scientific challenges to overcome before we can successfully harness fusion power in this way. Researchers from the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) Ames National Laboratory and Iowa State University are leading efforts to overcome material challenges that could make commercial fusion power a reality. The research teams are part of a DOE Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) program called Creating Hardened And Durable fusion first Wall Incorporating Centralized Knowledge (CHADWICK). They will investigate materials for the first wall of a fusion reactor. The first wall is the structure that surrounds the fusion reaction, so it bears the brunt of the extreme environment in the fusion reactor core. ARPA-E recently selected 13 projects under the CHADWICK program. Of those 13, Ames Lab leads one of the projects and is collaborating alongside Iowa State on another project, which is led by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). According to Nicolas Argibay, a scientist at Ames Lab and lead of one project, one of the key challenges in harnessing fusion-based power is containing the plasma core that creates the energy. The plasma is like a miniature sun that needs to be contained by materials that can withstand a combination of extreme temperature, irradiation, and magnetic fields while efficiently extracting heat for conversion to electricity. Argibay explained that in the reactor core, the plasma is contained by a strong magnetic field , and the first wall would surround this environment. The first wall has two layers of material, one that is closest to the strong magnetic and plasma environments, and one that will help move the energy along to other parts of the system. The first layer material needs to be structurally sound, resisting cracking and erosion over time. Argibay also said that it cannot stay radioactive for very long, so that the reactor can be turned on and off for maintenance without endangering anyone working on it. The project he is leading is focused on the first layer material. "I think one of the things we [at Ames Lab] bring is a unique capability for materials design, but also, very importantly, for processing them. It is hard to make and manage these materials," said Argibay. "On the project I'm leading, we're using tungsten as a major constituent, and with the exception of some forms of carbon, like diamond, that's the highest melting temperature element on the periodic table." Specialized equipment is necessary to process and test refractory materials, which have extremely high melting temperatures. In Argibay's lab, the first piece of equipment obtained is a commercial, modular, customizable, open-architecture platform for both making refractory materials and exploring advanced and smart manufacturing methods to make the process more efficient and reliable. "Basically, we can make castings and powders of alloys up to and including pure tungsten, which is the highest melting temperature element other than diamond," said Argibay. By spring of 2025, Argibay said that they will have two additional systems in place for creating these refractory materials at both lab-scale and pilot-scale quantities. He explained it is easier to make small quantities (lab-scale) than larger quantities (pilot-scale), but the larger quantities are important for collecting meaningful and useful data that can translate to a real-world application.

Sign up for our free newsletter and get updates on breakthroughs, innovations, and research that matter— daily or weekly . Argibay also has capabilities for measuring the mechanical properties of refractory materials at relevant temperatures. Systems capable of making measurements well above 1,000°C (1,832°F) are rare. Ames Lab now has one of the only commercial testers in the country that can measure tensile properties of alloys at temperatures up to 1,500°C (2,732°F), which puts the lab in a unique position to both support process science and alloy design. Jordan Tiarks, another scientist at Ames Lab who is working on the project led by PNNL, is focused on a different aspect of this reactor research. His team is relying on Ames Lab's 35 years of experience leading the field in gas atomization, powder metallurgy, and technology transfer to industry to develop materials for the first wall structural material. "The first wall structural material is actually the part that holds it all together," said Tiarks. "You need to have more complexity and more structural strength. You might have things like cooling channels that need to be integrated in the structural wall so that we can extract all of that heat, and don't just melt the first wall material." Tiarks's team hopes to utilize over a decade of research focused on developing a unique way of creating oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel for next generation nuclear fission. ODS steel contains very small ceramic particles (nanoparticles) that are dispersed throughout the steel. These particles improve the metal's mechanical properties and ability to withstand high irradiation. "What this project does is it takes all of our lessons learned on steels, and we're going to apply them to a brand-new medium, a vanadium-based alloy that is well suited for nuclear fusion," said Tiarks. The major challenge Tiarks's team faces is how vanadium behaves differently from steel. Vanadium has a much higher melting point, and it is more reactive than steel, so it cannot be contained with ceramic. Instead, his team must use a slightly different process for creating vanadium-based powders. "We use high pressure gas to break up the molten material into tiny droplets which rapidly cool to create the powders we're working with," explained Tiarks. "And [in this case] we can't use any sort of ceramic to be able to deliver the melt. So what we have to do is called 'free fall gas atomization." It is essentially a big opening in a gas die where a liquid stream pours through and we use supersonic gas jets to attack that liquid stream." There are some challenges with the method Tiarks described. First, he said that it is less efficient than other methods that rely on ceramics. Secondly, due to the high melting point of vanadium, it is harder to add more heat during the pouring process, which would provide more time to break up the liquid into droplets. Finally, vanadium tends to be reactive. "Powders are reactive. If you aerosolize them, they will explode. However, a fair number of metals will form a thin oxide shell on the outside layer that can help 'passivate' them from further reactions," Tiarks explained. "It's kind of like an M&M. It's the candy coating on the outside that protects the rest of the powder particle from further oxidizing. "A lot of the research we've done in the Ames lab is actually figuring out how we passivate these powders so you can handle them safely, so they won't further react, but without degrading too much of the performance of those powders by adding too much oxygen. If you oxidize them fully, all of a sudden, now we have a ceramic particle, and it's not a metal anymore, and so we have to be very careful to control the passivation process." Tiarks explained that discovering a powder processing method for vanadium-based materials will make them easier to form into the complicated geometric chapes that are necessary for the second layer to function properly. Additionally, vanadium will not interfere with the magnetic fields in the reactor core. Sid Pathak, an assistant professor at Iowa State, is leading the group that will test the material samples for the second layer. When the material powder made by the Ames Lab group is ready, it will be formed into plates at PNNL by spraying the powder and friction stir processing onto a surface. "Once you make that plate, we need to test its properties, particularly its response under the extreme radiation conditions present in a fusion reactor, and make sure that we get something better than what is currently available," said Pathak. "That's our claim, that our materials will be superior to what is used today." Pathak explained that it can take 10–20 years for radiation damage to show up on materials in a nuclear reactor. It would be impossible to recreate that timeline during a 3-year research project. Instead, his team uses ion irradiation to test how materials respond in extreme environments. For this process, his team uses a particle accelerator to bombard a material with ions available at University of Michigan's Michigan Ion Beam Laboratory. The results simulate how a material is affected by radiation. "Ion irradiation is a technique where you radiate [the material] with ions instead of neutrons. That can be done in a matter of hours," said Pathak. "Also, the material does not become radioactive after ion irradiation, so you can handle it much more easily." Despite these benefits, there is one disadvantage to using ion irradiation. The damage only penetrates the material one or two micrometers deep, meaning that it can only be seen with a microscope. For reference, the average strand of human hair is about 70-100 micrometers thick. So, testing materials at these very small depths requires specialized tools that work at micro-length scales, which are available at Pathak's lab at Iowa State University. "The pathway to commercial nuclear fusion power has some of the greatest technical challenges of our day but also has the potential for one of the greatest payoffs—harnessing the power of the sun to produce abundant, clean energy," said Tiarks. "It's incredibly exciting to be able to have a tiny role in solving that greater problem." "I'm very excited at the prospect that we are kind of in uncharted water. So there is an opportunity for Ames to demonstrate why we're here, why we should continue to fund and increase funding for national labs like ours, and why we are going to tackle some things that most companies and other national labs just can't or aren't," said Argibay. "We hope to be part of this next generation of solving fusion energy for the grid." Provided by Ames National LaboratoryShares of Navient Co.

Gophers football players are preparing to play Wisconsin for Paul Bunyan’s Axe on Friday, but three key pieces peered beyond the blinders to shore up their commitment to Minnesota on Monday. Quarterback Max Brosmer and offensive lineman Quinn Carroll — two sixth-year seniors — said they will play in the Gophers’ to-be-determined bowl game, bucking a growing trend of players skipping postseason games to prepare for shots in the NFL. ADVERTISEMENT Brosmer, a transfer from FCS-level New Hampshire, said he will “definitely” suit up. “It’s another opportunity for us to play as a team,” said Brosmer, who threw for 2,426 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions in 11 games this season. “It’s a compilation of what you have worked on all season.” Carroll said he respects higher-level prospects who might opt out and protect their draft stock, but he wants to get back to a “standard” of players not skipping the games. “My goal ever since I came here was to be the leader, be the standard all the time, and I don’t want it to become a standard that we don’t play in the bowl game if we have NFL aspirations,” said Carroll, who has played three seasons at Minnesota after three years at Notre Dame. “Obviously it’s different for guys who are maybe touted a little bit higher or think it will be better off for them to start working on the next step, whether that is combine training or what have you. But that is one opportunity that I’m blessed with to play with the guys and I’m going to take full advantage of it.” Left tackle Aireontae Ersery is a prime candidate of a Gophers player who might want to safeguard a higher draft stock and limit injury exposure by sitting out the bowl game. The possible first- or second-round pick has not said what he might do. For example, former U center, John Michael Schmitz opted out of the Pinstripe Bowl in 2022; he was drafted in the second round by the New York Giants. Meanwhile, Gophers fifth-year defensive lineman Jalen Logan-Redding said he will return to Minnesota for 2025, instead of trying his luck in the NFL. “Coming back next year is definitely going to be the best for me and being able to maximize all my opportunities and exhaust eligibility,” Logan-Redding said. Logan-Redding said he talked with fellow D-lineman Deven Eastern, who has one more year remaining, about pairing up in 2025. ADVERTISEMENT “We talk a lot about it,” Logan-Redding said. “... We are excited for it, honestly. Not only continuing to build the D-line, but just continuing to build on the experience that we already have. We’ve seen the amount of destruction that we can create when we are focused. Me, Dev and, of course, (Anthony Smith). He would be pissed if I didn’t shout him out.” Smith, who has two more years of eligibility, has been one of the U’s best players in the last month. He has 23 total pressures and five sacks, including one sack in each of the last three weeks. ______________________________________________________ This story was written by one of our partner news agencies.

An article published in BU Today , the university’s external publication, said hackers were able to download the files and information of all 15,448 participants. Hackers accessed around two percent of patients’ Social Security numbers, the school said. Joanne Murabito, a professor of medicine at the BU Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and FHS co–principal investigator, called the hack “really shocking” in the article. “This has never happened before.
