Even the best Bose condensate is a modest thing--measuring about one-tenth of a millimeter across--but the little cloud could help science take big steps. Particles frozen so rigidly in place are easy to observe and manipulate, providing a clearer than ever look at how things behave at the subatomic, or quantum, state. Down the line, such precise control may make it easier to design better atomic clocks or fabricate submicroscopic nanocomponents and other vanishingly tiny machines. Absolute zero might be an impossibility, but for scientists who have spent their careers trying to drive the thermometer down...
...faces up to 18 months in jail if convicted, in addition to the record 23-game NHL suspension he is now serving. "We do allow a certain level of violence in sports," says Cohen. "But the fact that the courts have been involved could prompt the NHL to be clearer about what violence it does and does not accept...

...Pavlovsky, is dramatically inflated popular expectations. Two and a half months of campaigning, however, allow little chance for Putin's 65% confidence ratings or popular expectations to be significantly deflated.
