		| Abstract: | 
		Sunspots are the most prominent magnetic structures on 
 the solar surface.  The evolution of sunspots is a long-standing question 
 in the solar magnetism.  A study of the decay of sunspots as well as the
 formation is necessary to understand the evolutionary history of
 sunspots.  This paper is a short review on new insights into diffusion
 and decay of sunspots obtained from Hinode observations. |
