Horner plotting Nibali downfall

By -
Chris Horner is confident he can cut Vincenzo Nibali's 28-second lead at the Vuelta a Espana in the remaining five stages.
Horner has won two stages of this year's race but remains behind the Spaniard in the race for the winner's red jersey going into stage 17 on Wednesday.
The 41-year-old is second overall, with Movistar's Alejandro Valverde third and Joaquim Rodriguez of Katusha fourth.
Nibali has yet to win an individual stage this year but has produced consistent displays throughout the race to lead the standings, and Horner knows he will have to take advantage of any mistakes the Astana rider makes.
"All it takes is one bad day (for Nibali) and anything is possible," the Radio-Shack Leopard rider said. "Everybody knows that it's really a three-way battle for the win, with possibly Joaquim Rodriguez also in the race.
"All I need is a gap, 28 seconds, that's all, and I can take the leader's jersey."
The final stages of this year's race will see three mountain stages test the competitors and Horner knows he will have to push Nibali if he is going to claim victory.
"He's (Nibali) one of the best guys in the world, he's won the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta here, his resume is quite good," he added. "So if you want him to crack, you've got to make the race hard.
"If he gets there (the final climb) fresh, he's going to be impossible to drop.
"But it's like I said, all it takes is one bad day and anything is possible."
Stage 17 of the race begins on Wednesday from Calahorra to Burgos.

First computer made of carbon nanotubes is unveiled.

The first computer built entirely with carbon nanotubes has been unveiled, opening the door to a new generation of digital devices. "Cedric" is only a basic prototype but could be developed into a machine which is smaller, faster and more efficient than today's silicon models. Nanotubes have long been touted as the heir to silicon's throne, but building a working computer has proven awkward. The breakthrough by Stanford University engineers is published in Nature. Cedric is the most complex carbon-based electronic system yet realised. So is it fast? Not at all. It might have been in 1955. Cedric's vital statistics *.1 bit processor *.Speed: 1 kHz *.178 transistors *.10-200 nanotubes per transistor *.2 billion carbon atoms *.Turing complete *.Multitasking The computer operates on just one bit of information, and can only count to 32. "In human terms, Cedric can count on his hands and sort the alphabet. But he is, in the full sense of the word, ...
