A pair of breakthroughs in the field of silicon photonics by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Micron Technology Inc. could allow for the trajectory of exponential improvement in microprocessors that began nearly half a century ago鈥攌nown as Moore鈥檚 Law鈥攖o continue well into the future, allowing for increasingly faster electronics, from supercomputers to laptops to smartphones.

When the conversation turns to global warming, many Americans are inclined to turn away. And why not? After all, it鈥檚 a vast and complicated subject. Truly understanding it seems to require specialized knowledge most people don鈥檛 possess. And perhaps most notably, it鈥檚 become such a hot-button political issue that it easily inflames passions. The trick is figuring out how to reach people without turning them off. Using the arts to inspire an emotional connection to and a deeper understanding of a difficult subject is the idea behind a series of events at 抖阴旅行射-Boulder Oct. 1-6.

The University of Colorado Boulder will host a conference that explores the phenomenon of slavery from a global, historical perspective on Sept. 27-28.
