Bloch's artwork graces this month's special
section on the 50th anniversary of Moore's Law.
He was inspired to pursue his profession by the
great French humorist-illustrators of an earlier
generation, some of whom were slain at the offices
of Charlie Hebdo in Paris. In a speech at the Society
of Illustrators shortly after the attack, Bloch paid
them tribute: "[T]hey often made us laugh and now
we cry for them.... But drawing is our life, and life is
stronger than violence."

SEnIor advErtISIng ProductIon coordInator

Shortly after obtaining a Ph.D. in electrical engineering
from MIT in 2002, Huang wrote Hacking the Xbox: An
Introduction to Reverse Engineering. However, the
need for such reverse engineering might soon decline,
he argues in "Moore's Law Is Dying (and That Could Be
Good)" [p. 42]. That's because as the pace of Moore's
Law slows, manufacturers will increasingly adopt
open designs. Huang's not worried that this change
will hurt book sales, though: He's been offering free
electronic copies of the book since 2013.

LaMonica, a contributor to IEEE Spectrum's
Energywise blog, has long contemplated the
potential of nuclear energy. "When you're looking
for solutions to climate change, you have to think
seriously about nuclear," he says. In this issue, he
reports on startups that are aiming to get new
nuclear technologies out into the real world faster
than established companies can [p. 12]. He's now
involved in a startup himself, as environment and
energy editor at The Conversation.

For the 50th anniversary of Moore's Law this month,
"gentleman scientist" Chris Mack examines its
astounding and shifting history [p. 30]. He has worked
in lithography-the technology used to pattern chips-
for 32 years. For much of that, Mack has had the end
of Moore's Law in his sights; he once wagered his
beloved Lotus sports car on the future of long-delayed
extreme ultraviolet lithography (the bet was declared
a draw). Moore's Law has been a "truly remarkable"
phenomenon, he says, definitely worth celebrating.

A New York City-based journalist who writes
frequently for Popular Science and Motherboard,
Ossola first heard about the highly competitive
fight to devise the best DNA search engine [p. 16]
in passing while at a New Year's Eve party. It wasn't
the usual way she gets story ideas, but she knew
immediately that she wanted to pursue it. "When
something like that falls into your lap, you pull at
the thread and find something really cool at the
end," Ossola says.
