Could sugar be the energy source of the future?

a battery that converts sugar into energyWe all know that eating sugar gives a temporary burst of energy. Just watch a couple of kids after a night of trick or treating, their energy peaks and then plummets. You may have even said once or twice, "I wish I could harness that energy." The engineers at Sony have taken that idle wish and turned it into something of reality. They've created a battery that runs on sugar.

Sadly, it can't run off your kid's leftover Halloween candy. It converts juice, soda or any other sugary liquid into enough electricity to power smaller gadgets and appliances. Personally, it sounds like a great use to me for all the high fructose corn syrup this country produces. And, if you get thirsty, you can just take a swig (I'm kidding, I imagine that wouldn't be recommended).
