Reacting with sunlight and other common air contaminants, nitric oxide forms ozone, a chemical which closes part of the lungs and forces an animal to use more energy to get enough oxygen. Middleton showed other experts at a two-day conference at the New York University School of Medicine last week how ozone "in the quantities you commonly find in New York city air" slows down rats and mice when they exercise on a treadmill...
...synthesis of street-scene pop and the cool world of science, Chryssa's Gates, like many other neon artists' works, is just a flickering glimpse of what pure light sources may someday offer when incorporated into art. Rembrandt depended on sunlight to unmask his carefully constructed layers of color.

That night he built an enormous fire to inform the universe that he was there, to announce anew...
