PepsiIpod And yet another reason why diet soda will never be as good as the real thing: Research from St. Louis University has developed a fuel cell that can run off the same sugar rush you get from your favorite soft drinks. Sorry diet devotees, saccharin--even "made-from sugar" Splenda--won't do the trick this time.

What's more: a cola-powered fuel cell may last for quadruple the time a standard lithium ion battery can. But I wouldn't go pouring a Pepsi into your iPod, laptop or cell phone just yet (if you think that'll work, you've got bigger problems than extending your MP3 playback); It may take a few more years for what I've dubbed the "sug-attery" to appear on the market.

My mind is reeling with the possibilities: If Coca-Cola can power my laptop, imagine what I could run with Mountain Dew or a one-liter bottle of Jolt Cola. I'll betcha I could jump start a tractor with all that sugar.
