Haven’t you ever thought it would be fun to fight on the front lines in Afghanistan? No? Look, maybe I didn’t explain myself very well. Bush does a much better job.

Over dinner and a beer a couple of weeks ago, my friend jokingly asked me “What’s new in the world of Material Science?”
He may have been joking, but I’ve read a couple of interesting Materials Science-related news stories recently, so I thought I would share some of them with you. Considering how often people ask me, “What’s Materials Science?”, I thought it would be a good idea to educate my readers on the subject.
All of these stories share a common theme: carbon nanotubes. Nanotechnoloy is the hottest buzzword in Materials Science (and any other discipline) these days, and carbon nanotubes are a big part of the nanotech world.

How much money would it take for you to go on national television in front of a live audience that included your spouse, siblings, and mother or father, and expose all of your most shameful secrets? What if telling those secrets meant ending your marriage? Would $500,000 be enough?
If you said “yes”, then you should be a contestant on The Moment of Truth, a game show on Fox that promises to do just that.

Been listening to this one a lot, pretty much the whole way through.
This novel was published after the Chilean-Mexican author's death, and I'm not even sure if it was entirely finished or not. It is broken up into five parts which, while connected, stand pretty much on there own. I have not yet made it to the grim part about the murders of hundreds of women in Mexico, so I have so far found it enjoyable and even funny despite some dark underpinnings. It's had a ton of critical praise, and I like it much more than my last foray into the violent novel genre: Blood Meridian.
