There’s not much you can do with mouldy bread…but in the future it could be useful to charge up your mobile phone.
Scientists at the University of Dundee in Scotland have been playing around with some mouldy sandwiches and have discovered that rare red bread mould that has electrochemical properties. So far they’ve had promising results using the mould to charge up an LED device but the feeling is that with further research into increasing the size of the mould it could one day generate enough power to charge up your phone.
It’s a promising breakthrough but for now the scientists recommend your mouldy loaf can just go in the bin. You can read more about it HERE.
