Here are a couple cool discoveries that came out of UW-Madison recently. One looks to the future and the other looks to the past. Foot power: Walk, talk AND charge your cell phone at the same time? Two scientists at UW-Madison may have come up with a device that takes the mechanical motion from walking and turns it into electrical energy.
Beer origins: A UW-Madison researcher helped find an elusive species of yeast in Argentina that was key to the invention of lager beer 600 years ago in Bavaria. Chris Todd Hittinger, an evolutionary geneticist, co-authored the paper about lager beer?s missing link.
