Luxembourg holds snap election after spying scandal

By -
Voters in Luxembourg are to go to the polls in a snap election sparked by a secret service and corruption scandal.
Jean-Claude Juncker's coalition cabinet collapsed in July amid claims he had failed to stop illegal security agency activities, including phone-tapping.
He has headed Luxembourg's government as PM since 1995, longer than any other elected leader in Europe.
But the centre-left, the Liberals and the Greens are now hoping to win enough seats to form a coalition government.
With Mr Juncker's image badly dented, there is the possibility that this time they will win a majority between them, putting together a cabinet that excludes the centre-right, the BBC's Europe correspondent Christian Fraser reports.
Damning report
Polling stations in the Grand Duchy will open at 08:00 (06:00 GMT) and close at 14:00 (12:00 GMT).
Early results are expected shortly afterwards.
He was also head of the Eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers from 2005-13.
But the coalition government of Mr Juncker's centre-right Christian Social People's Party and the Socialists unravelled in July.
Critics at home have accused him of failing to focus on pressing domestic issues.
Earlier this year, the parliament reviewed a report alleging the allegations against the SREL security agency, which Mr Juncker oversees.
It included claims of illegal bugging of politicians, the purchase of cars for private use and payments in exchange for access to local officials.
Mr Juncker has denied any wrongdoing.

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, ...
