    While Intel has been generally circumspect about what material technology it plans to turn to when silicon ceases to scale down to smaller transistor sizes, I.B.M. has been more vocal and optimistic about the potential for carbon nanotubes.

    Because the factory processes that underlie the modern semiconductor industry require such painstaking precision, any new technology that the industry might use must be perfected more than three years before it can be considered for use incommercial production.

    From year to year, the worlds hotspots are not consistent, but move erratically around the globe.

    Barnett thinks that recent increases in volcanic activity, which spews smog-forming aerosols into the air that deflect solar radiation and cool the atmosphere,might help account for the temporary slowing of global temperature rise. But hesays we shouldnt let short term fluctuations cause us to lose sight of the big picture.

    Its hard to know if reading romance makes you more sensitive, or if sensitive people are naturally drawn to romance novels, or some combination thereof. The researchers consider a possible explanation for this relationship: It may be that the emotional experiences evoked by romance novels lead to rumination on past relationship experiencesperhaps encouraging readers to puzzle out the complexities of

    their own past romantic relationships. This thoughtful introspection might thenbe usefully applied to new social interactions.

    The IPCC is not supposed to represent the controversial forefront of climate science. It is supposed to represents what nearly all scientists agree on, and it does that quite effectively.

    The publics skepticism of climate change took a dive after Hurricane Sandy. Fifty-four percent of Americans are now saying that the effects of global warming have already begun. But 41 percent surveyed in the same Gallup poll believe news about global warming is generally exaggerated, and there is a smaller but highly passionate minority that continues to believe the whole thing is a hoax.

    Eden Hazard has had a hit-and-miss time at Chelsea. At times his form has been excellent, with the Belgian showing flashes of real quality, but he has also suffered prolonged periods of mediocrity

    Though his merciless analyses earned him a reputation as The Great Hater, his critique today seems prescient.

    But is not with an uncompromising defence that Wenger's team have so impressed this season, rather the intricate dominance of their midfield and the cavalier thrusts of their attacks.
