Text 1: Do you know why Japanese mayonnaise tastes so much better than the regular kind? According to a local R&D chef, that is because it has MSG. Do you get nausea, heart palpitations, headaches, numbness or excessive thirst after a meal? That is apparently the MSG having its devious ways with you. I also found out recently, the flavor enhancer has the same repelling effect on chefs and private dining cooks as garlic on vampires. My emails and Direct Messages about MSG, however, went largely rejected or unanswered. Crowdsourcing responses through foodie colleagues and friends elicited the same results. Many Chinese and Peranakan cooks use it, but they will never admit it. The origin story of the flavor enhancer can be traced to a Japanese professor in 1907. MSG or monosodium glutamate is not derived from combining specific levels of chemicals in the lab, despite its very technical name. Rather, MSG is extracted from a fermented tapioca broth, then heated and dried from crystals. In some cases, other plant ingredients such as beets, sugarcane or corn may be used instead. MSG is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, which is a naturally occurring amino acid. Even if you do not add MSG to your cooking, it is already naturally present in many foods. MSG activates umami taste receptors on the tongue. It explains why cooks treasure the liquid in which dried shiitake mushrooms or seaweed has been soaked in, or why everything tastes better with cheese. Text 2: The criticism of MSG goes way back into the past. It might have begun in the US when the "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome" was coined by, ironically, a Chinese doctor and researcher. In the late 1960s, following reports that people had bad reactions to food in Chinese restaurants, MSG was suggested to be the cause. The use of MSG created a cultural fear and backlash against American-Chinese food. This still persists to some degree to this day. The studies conducted around those times were "biased" and had methodological flaws and small sample sizes. However, people still believed that the findings of the study were accurate. After numerous years of better-quality clinical studies, international food safety organizations have now considered MSG to be safe. Many chefs may avoid admitting its use because they want to maintain a perception of using only "natural" ingredients. However, there has been a sea change in the culinary scene. American chefs make no bones about proclaiming their love of MSG. The white stuff is like the cook’s cheat code to level up a dish’s umami-ness without overlong flavor-extraction processes.

Text 1: Researchers have found a new way to store energy that is important for using renewable energy and making more electric cars. The current method, like lithium-ion batteries, takes a long time to charge and has issues like breaking down over time and even catching fire. One good alternative is the use of dielectric energy storage capacitors. These capacitors are made of two metal plates with a special film in between. When electricity is applied, the film stores energy. Capacitors can charge quickly and last a long time, but they do not store as much energy as needed. To improve this, researchers need to find materials that can handle a higher electric field. The researchers used layers of nanosheets made of special materials with a structure known as perovskite. This structure is great for storing energy. By using these materials, they were able to store a lot more energy. Their new capacitor was tested and showed that it could store 10 to 100 times more energy than before. It also stayed stable even after many uses and at high temperatures. This discovery could lead to better energy storage devices that are fast-charging, long-lasting, and work well in high temperatures. The new capacitors could be used in electric cars, powerful machines, and devices that need quick bursts of energy. Text 2: Perovskite materials are known for their excellent ability to store electrical energy, making them ideal for use in capacitors. These devices hold and release energy, and perovskites can be customized with different elements to enhance their performance. This makes them superior to older materials because they can store more energy and remain stable. A major benefit of perovskite materials is their effectiveness even when very thin, which is useful for creating smaller electronic devices. They also maintain stability at high temperatures, allowing them to be used in a wide range of electronics without issues. Recently, scientists have developed a new type of perovskite materials called nanosheets. These nanosheets are ultra-thin layers made from elements like calcium and oxygen. They are particularly good at storing energy, resulting in capacitors that can hold more energy, charge quickly, and perform well at high temperatures. This nanosheet technology could lead to significant advancements in renewable energy systems and electric vehicles. These capacitors can release energy quickly, which is beneficial for devices that need a lot of power in a short time. As research progresses, these perovskite nanosheets could help create more efficient and effective energy storage solutions.
