Scientists create edible and rechargeable battery
Researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology have created a prototype of an edible and rechargeable battery, made entirely from food products. This is a prototype of the worlds first edible and rechargeable battery. Mario Caironi, Project coordinator, said: The core of the device is represented by a couple of electrodes basically. To have it working we are using two materials, two molecules. For the anode, we are using riboflavin which is a vitamin but we can find it in almonds for example.
