Fifty years ago, on September 11, 1973, a violent coup ended one of the longest-standing democracies in Latin America - the presidency of Chile's popularly elected socialist president Salvador Allende. The overthrow launched a nearly two-decade dictatorship headed by General Augusto Pinochet that killed over 2,300 people, tortured more than 30,000 and sent tens of thousands into exile. Professor of Politics and International Affairs Peter Siavelis, an expert in electoral, legislative and presidential politics in Chile, answers questions about the complicated role the United States played in the coup and why democracy should not be taken for granted.

The future of electronics will be based on novel kinds of materials. Sometimes, however, the naturally occurring topology of atoms makes it difficult for new physical effects to be created. To tackle this problem, researchers at the University of Zurich have now successfully designed superconductors one atom at a time, creating new states of matter. What will the computer of the future look like? How will it work? The search for answers to these questions is a major driver of basic physical research.
