Ignatiev/Getty Images Sci-fi authors and screenwriters have long envisioned AI companions helping humans as they explore the cosmos. Sometimes things go well (Commander Data was a friendly and reliable Starfleet officer), other times not so much ("I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave"). Now, AI-assisted spacefaring -- like so many other concepts that, not so long ago, seemed utterly far-fetched -- could soon become a practical reality.

The chemical secrets that help keep honey fresh for so long

But honey is an unusual case, and here is why. It's made by honeybees from flower nectar, and starts out as a warmish, watery, sugary fluid, the kind of thing that seems like it would be the purest bacteria bait. The bees concentrate the nectar on the way to the hive, removing some of the water, use enzymes to raise the acid content in the fluid discouraging some forms of microorganisms from growing, and break down the sugars into simpler ones, then decant the stuff into honeycomb chambers.
