Swiss scientists have designed a plastic that contain layers of a specific type of fungus that can clean your dishes for you. The fungus, the same kind found in blue cheese, is housed in special compartments that allow the bacteria to access leftover food. The cleaning occurs as the fungus eats the food particles. While this experiment is still in the lab, scientists are saying that the technology is stable enough to transfer to other household surfaces. They also hope to soon create an entire "novel class of living materials."
