<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">If you're counting down the days until the 28 April unveiling of the LG G4 flagship, then you'll be interested in a new teaser video launched by the firm. It shows the LG UX 4.0 interface you can expect to see on the version of Android Lollipop shipping with the phone.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-size: large;">According to Google Translate's take on LG's Korean blurb, the new software is going to be "smarter" and more "human-centred". You can see for yourself in the video, but it looks like Material Design features heavily, with bright and bold colours throughout.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">It sounds as though there'll be plenty of customisation options for you to play around with, and there's a new Quick Shot feature that lets you quickly take a photo even when the screen is locked - handy if there's something hilarious about to happen and you don't want to miss it.</span></i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Putting the smart in smartphone</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Smart Alert is a weather app that doesn't just tell you what the forecast is - it also makes suggestions about what you might want to do. The Calendar app, meanwhile, has been updated to let you drag and drop in events from your social media accounts.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Smart Board (can you spot the theme here?) brings together key information from various apps like health and calendar into one widget. Icons and readability have been improved according to LG, and the Gallery app has also been tweaked to make it easier to organise your pictures.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">A new 'expert' camera mode in the LG UX 4.0 has been introduced too, designed for advanced photographers to get more from their mobile phone shots with a range of manual settings. In a few weeks time we'll be able to test it out for ourselves.</span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>It's not perfect, but it's close</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>Practical battery technology has been stagnant for far too long, but researchers at Stanford may have made a crucial breakthrough thanks to one thing: aluminum.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>Compared with today's lithium-ion options, the researchers' aluminum-ion batteries are cheaper, safer, more flexible, and longer-lasting, they said in an article in the science journal Nature.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>And two of them can charge a smartphone in as little as one minute.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>So close</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>Aluminum has high energy storage capacity, low flammability and low cost, and by combining the metal with graphite cathodes (a happy accident, apparently) the scientists made viable batteries.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>They have a low chance of catching fire or exploding, and since they use a liquid electrolyte, the new batteries can take the form of liquid-filled pouches that can be used in flexible technology like curved phones.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>But although they can last for thousands more charge cycles than lithium batteries and charge fully in a fraction of the time, the aluminum batteries have a fatal flaw: the scientists have yet to work out how to make them produce enough voltage to be truly practical.</i></span></div>
