...Gastrovac and plating it with a caper and red pepper broth. "It has the same sheen as it did when it was raw!" Call it the Blumenthal-Adrià effect. Ever since Europe's two famously avant-garde chefs, Heston Blumenthal and Ferran Adriá, began using liquid nitrogen to freeze mousses tableside and siphons to turn squid ink into foam about five or six years ago, the walls between the laboratory and the kitchen have begun to crumble. "This is the great revolution in cooking right now: the incorporation of industrial techniques into the kitchen, and the collaboration between...
...Ages began, the cosmos was a formless sea of particles; by the time it ended, just a couple hundred million years later, the universe was alight with young stars gathered into nascent galaxies. It was during the Dark Ages that the chemical elements we know so well--carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and most of the rest--were first forged out of primordial hydrogen and helium. And it was during this time that the great structures of the modern universe--superclusters of thousands of galaxies stretching across millions of light-years--began to assemble...
Still, the bones have more secrets to reveal. They were never fossilized, and a careful analysis of their carbon and nitrogen composition, yet to be performed, should reveal plenty about Kennewick Man's diet. Says Stafford: "We can tell if he ate nothing but plants, predominantly meat or a mixture of the two." The researchers may be able to determine whether he preferred meat or fish. It's even possible that DNA could be extracted and analyzed someday...
...have to diet. Pluto's gravity is so weak that a man weighing 300 lbs. (136 kg) on Earth would weigh just 20 lbs. (9 kg) on Pluto ? Unfortunately, breathing would be impossible. In addition to being intolerably cold, Pluto has a thin?and temporary?atmosphere of nitrogen molecules, with traces of carbon monoxide and methane. When the planet moves farther from the sun, the atmosphere freezes back onto the surface ? Pluto is one of only two planets that rotate on their horizontal axis. Uranus is the other. A day on Pluto is equal to 6.4 days...
...Sanders Theatre, the 15th annual awards ceremony delighted over 1,200 people with strange and interesting humor including a three-part mini opera, entitled “The Count of Infinity” and brief “scientific” demonstrations that included the use of liquid nitrogen and colored balloons...
