New Scientist Tech - Technology - Chocolate generates electrical power
Topic: Science 12:41 pm EDT, Jun  1, 2006

Willy Wonka could have powered his Great Glass Elevator on hydrogen produced from his chocolate factory.
Microbiologist Lynne Mackaskie and her colleagues at the University of Birmingham in the UK have powered a fuel cell by feeding sugar-loving bacteria chocolate-factory waste. "We wanted to see if we tipped chocolate into one end, could we get electricity out at the other?" she says

Just one more thing to love chocolate for, right? I knew I should have kept my initial science major instead of my english one. I too could experiment with chocolate for a living!

Seriously though, found this very interesting.

New Scientist Tech - Breaking News - Robotic tentacles get to grips with tricky objects
Topic: Science 4:29 pm EDT, May  8, 2006

The Octarms developed so far are each around a metre long, although the design could easily be scaled up or down, the researchers say. Only one has been attached to a robot at a time, but the researchers say several could work together in future.

Totally nifty. Not to mention something to utilize in a horror movie!
