In the Adams Art Space, the artsy crowd sipped wine out of Solo cups while checking out student-made paintings and documentaries. If you enjoy getting mysterious red liquid spilled on you from a plastic bat, the rugby party in Eliot was the place to be, where ballerinas cavorted with jocks to ’90s pop hits.

Our twenty-strong tasting panel was more than ready for some liquid refreshment after a long midday walk. They (quite literally) lapped the stuff...

In perfect deference to the laws of physics, the metal's highly reflective surface takes the form of a parabola, the shape of solid...
Borra emphasizes that the concept of a liquid-mirror telescope is not new; he thinks the idea may have occurred to Isaac Newton, who knew about the behavior of spinning fluids and built one of the first reflecting telescopes. Borra knows that Robert Wood of Johns Hopkins University built a primitive model in 1908. "I am not the inventor," says Borra. "But I am the first to make it work and the first to know what to do with...
