...night French monk Dom P?rignon invented champagne in the late 17th century. Liger-Belair, an associate professor of physical sciences at the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne, used sophisticated photographic equipment to observe what really happens inside the glass. The bubbles consist of carbon dioxide dissolved in the liquid during the m?thode champenoise fermentation process. Scientists have long known that these CO2 molecules need a niche of some sort to form bubbles; in a perfectly smooth glass, the molecules would evaporate singly and invisibly. Conventional wisdom is that tiny pits and gouges in the wall of a champagne flute serve...

...last week collected $455 by auctioning three tablespoons of water he claims once occupied a cup from which Elvis drank while performing. Wade Jones says that after an Elvis concert he attended in 1977, he was given the cup by a security guard. For decades he preserved the liquid in a sealed glass vial, but after seeing a grilled cheese sandwich ostensibly bearing an image of the Virgin Mary garner $28,000 on eBay, he decided to part with the holy Elvis water. Jones was so pleased with the financial results that he has put the actual chalice--which takes...
...such a stubborn problem is that it involves so many of the body's interlocking systems, and lying at the center of it all is the heart. The heart doesn't so much pour blood through the circulatory system as punch it through, forcing six quarts of heavy liquid beyond the torso and out to remote provinces like the feet, hands and head. Unfortunately, the riptides of the circulatory system are not always kind to the vessels that have to carry the load. Every time the heart contracts, blood not only rushes ahead through the vessels but also presses against...
...120/80 or below is considered normal; 140/90 marks the onset of hypertension; 160/100 is Stage 2 hypertension; 220/120 is the onset of what is known as malignant hypertension, pressure so high that fluid is squeezed from vessels into the brain and blood leaks out of capillaries into the liquid that fills the eyeballs. "Malignant hypertension is a medical emergency," says cardiologist Richard Devereux of Cornell University Medical College...
