...constraints can be difficult even for celebrity chefs like Todd English, who has created a few signature dishes for Delta's menu. He wants to add foods that get better as they age, like soups and chili. "We just have to find the right thermos," he says...
Like most of those after uranium (element 92), "ununseptium" is artificially made. This latest find supports the idea that as-yet-undiscovered stable elements exist, but no one knows for sure if there is an end point to the table or if additional artificially engineered elements will expand it even further.

...inspired airlines to upgrade their menus. Some have teamed with celebrity chefs, others with national chains. Come fall, Continental Airlines, which had been the last major holdout, will stop offering free food on domestic coach flights and start charging for what it promises will be more appetizing fare.

David Johnson, a mechanical engineer in San Francisco, recently paid $40 more for his Virgin...

Nowadays, gender-neutral looks are being paired with woman-friendly modifications so subtle that men may not even notice them, like the tweaks Chevrolet has made to its 2010 Equinox, a midsize SUV that has become one of its top-selling models. These include carved-out door panels, to help keep diamond rings from getting whacked when window switches are used, and a center console spacious enough to stow...
