Champagne Owes Its Taste to the Finely Tuned Quality of Its Bubbles

What provides the wonderful aroma is a long neuro-physico-chemical process that results in bubbles fizzing at the surface of champagne

Champagne producers are now aware of the many neuro-physico-chemical mechanisms responsible for aroma release and flavor perception. The taste results from the complex interplay between the level of CO2 and the agents responsible for the aroma dispersed in champagne bubbles.

Bacteria Control Levels of Dangerous Pollutant in Seabirds

Mercury levels in cormorants and petrels stable over past 50 years

Researchers have discovered that levels of mercury in seabirds off the coast of B.C. have remained relatively stable over the past 50 years. Surprisingly, mercury in seabirds is now actually slightly lower. This might appear to be good news, but unfortunately it is due to a decline in fish stocks near the surface that has forced seabirds to change their diet, and in the process to feed in areas low in bacteria that act to control the levels of mercury in their bodies.
