"I'm not answering these questions, and I'm leaving."

World 2 - The police have no right to detain you but they CAN compel your answers:
"Did you kill your stepmother", "In elaborate detail, what did you have for breakfast?", "Do you like my shoes?", "Here's Ulysses, read it and tell me what you think", "Here's a hammer, show us that you didn't hide your stepmother's head at the center of this enormous boulder?", and on and on for decades.

New State of Matter Could Extend Moore's Law 329

rennerik writes "Scientists at McGill University in Montreal say they've discovered a new state of matter that could help extend Moore's Law and allow for the fabrication of more tightly packed transistors, or a new kind of transistor altogether. The researchers call the new state of matter 'a quasi-three-dimensional electron crystal.' It was discovered using a device cooled to a temperature about 100 times colder than intergalactic space, following the application of the most powerful continuous magnetic field on Earth."
