Pouring beer at home can be hit and miss: too much foam, not enough, and never ever the same as in a bar, that’s for sure. But help is at hand, in the form of beer science.

I am quite sure that after reading this story, most of us would most probably not look at data in the same way, ever again. Here is where the lines which divide art and science converge – scientists find data to be something that they hold on to dearly, while as for musicians, well, there really isn’t anything much to say about musicians other than their obvious love for music! Having said that, scientist and musician Domenico Vicinanza managed to find a way where both worlds converge, relying on data gleaned from NASA’s Voyager mission in order to create a musical composition which is not only melodic, but inspiring as well.

In this modern day and age, I am quite sure just about everyone and their favorite uncle carries a smartphone around. Heck, the smartphone is able to do a whole lot of stuff on your behalf, especially when you are away from the desktop computer, with “there’s an app for that” being an extremely common mantra. The thing is, smartphones are also power hungry devices, and each time battery technology moves forward, the manufacturers themselves throw in even more features that sucks up additional juice to be in operation, hence offsetting the gains made in the battery department. Well, a Virginia Tech research team recently unveiled a new sugar-powered battery which could eventually replace conventional batteries in smartphones and tablets. The targeted time frame for this to happen? We are looking at a window period of as little as three years.
