Chemistry Of Cooking
A biochemist and cook
explains that cooking is all
about chemistry and knowing
some facts can help chefs
understand why recipes go
wrong. Because cooking is
essentially a series of
chemical reactions, it is

Detecting Asthma
Radiologists developed a new
method for viewing the lungs
of asthma sufferers. The
method uses a polarized
helium-3 gas--making it
visible during an MRI. The
patient inhales the helium-3
and undergoes an MRI, where
