It’s not common for coffee and electric automobiles to be associated with one another, but Starbucks is hoping to alter that. Starbucks, in collaboration with Volvo, is taking the lead by offering to build 60 charging stations throughout five American states, with the goal of providing electric vehicle drivers with “enjoyable places to relax while their cars recharge” It other words, you will now be able to refuel both your body and your vehicle at the same time!

‘Ghostly’ neutrinos provide new path to study protons
In groundbreaking research, an international collaboration of scientists from the University of Rochester have used a beam of neutrinos to measure the size and shape of the protons that make up the nuclei of atoms. This feat, once thought impossible, provides scientists with a new way of looking at the small components of an atom’s nucleus and opens up a wealth of new information about the structure of an atom’s nucleus and the dynamics of the forces that affect neutrino interactions. The researchers solved the challenge of harnessing neutrinos in large numbers by using a neutrino detector containing a target of both hydrogen and carbon atoms, and over nine years of data collection at Fermilab’s accelerator.
