Critics wonder if gender-neutral stories are art or propaganda

Two new publishers of children's books have sparked debate in gender-equal Sweden over their professed aim of instilling the country's open-minded social values in the next generation. But some critics are outraged, saying they are simply pushing propaganda disguised as literature. Small publishers Vilda and Olika opened their doors last year with the express aim of making children's books that promote liberal values and challenge traditional views on sex, race and sexual orientation. Together they have released about a dozen titles, including a book about a boy who wears pink sandals, and a story about a girl who likes to make farting sounds using her armpits, and who has two dads. "You cannot write a book simply because you want it to be gender equal," said Lotta Olsson, a literary critic at Sweden's paper of reference, Dagens Nyheter.

Measured properties of carbon nanotubes match theoretical predictions

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been hyped as the wunderkind material of the 21st century. And while researchers have developed numerous CNT applications, ranging from nanoelectronics to nanomedicine and military armor, the actual properties of CNTs fell way short of what the theory predicted. The Wikipedia page for CNTs gives an overview of the various values of CNTs' mechanical properties and shows the discrepancy between theoretical prediction and experimental values. For instance, quantum mechanics calculations predict that defect-free single-walled carbon nanotubes possess a tensile strength of well over 100 gigapascals (GPa) – which translates into the ability to endure weight of over 10,000 kg on a cable with a cross-section of 1 square millimeter.
