COVER
A large particle of comet dust
collected by the NASA Stardust mission
generated a carrot-shaped track in a
3-cm-deep silica tile as it was captured.
Like the thousands of other particles
returned by the mission, this one
decelerated from high speed inside
the silica aerogel. See the special
section beginning on page 1707.

CLIMATE CHANGE
A Semi-Empirical Approach to Projecting Future Sea-Level Rise
S. Rahmstorf
Relating the observed sea-level rise and global air-temperature increases over the
20th century predicts that sea levels may rise by 0.5 to 1.4 meters by 2100.

DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY
Histocompatible Embryonic Stem Cells by Parthenogenesis
K. Kim et al.
Mouse embryos that develop by parthenogenesis can be a source of embryonic stem
cells immunologically compatible with the donor.
IMMUNOLOGY
Antibody Class Switching Mediated by Yeast Endonuclease–Generated
DNA Breaks
A. A. Zarrin et al.
Factors required for the DNA rearrangement that generates antibody classes can be
replaced by yeast cleavage-site sequences, pointing to a general DNA repair system.
CHEMISTRY
Ultralow Thermal Conductivity in Disordered, Layered WSe 2 Crystals
C. Chiritescu et al.
Randomly stacking the layers in tungsten selenide produces a dense solid having a
remarkably low thermal conductivity at room temperature that is only twice that of air.
