  • Brewmaster Joachim Rösch with all the food he eats in a typical day at Ganter Brewery in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.)

Joachim's job requires him to taste beer a number of times during the week, and unlike in wine tasting, he can't just taste then spit it out: ?Once you've got the bitter on the back of your tongue, you automatically get the swallow reflex, so down the chute you go,? he says.

  • Physics: A blowtorch is applied to a sample of aerogel to demonstrate its insulation properties. Aerogel is a new material, which has very high thermal insulation properties and extremely low mass. It is made by adding alcohol to a conventional silica gel to remove water. The gel is then placed in a pressure chamber, and the alcohol removed under super fluid conditions. This prevents the gel from collapsing. The resulting block of silica fibers contains about 90% air, so is very lightweight. Aerogel is being studied as an insulating material and as a holding medium for nuclear fusion fuel. Photographed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA. [1991]

  • Red agave worms are sold by the roadside near Teotihuacán, Mexico; the worms are placed in tequila bottles to certify the regional authenticity as well as the alcohol content of the brew (the worm would disintegrate if the alcohol content were too low).

  • Solar energy: .UEC (United Energy Corporation of Hawaii) Solar Facility in Borrego Springs, California uses both photovoltaic  and solar thermal systems. What makes their operation unique is that they use 3 acre round ponds to float their solar arrays on. The ponds act as a frictionless water bearing so that it requires very little energy to have the whole surface of the pond rotate to face the sun as it moves east to west. A series of small motors tilt the individual rows of the arrays to track the sun vertically as well. They use hot water from one type of array to run a huge still, which produces alcohol from molasses. So far there are 18 ponds. Borrego Springs, California (1990).
