Upset about these astronomical autumn energy bills? Well, cry all you like because scientists have found a means to create electricity from your own tears.

Researchers in Ireland's University of Limerick have discovered that crystals of lysozyme - a chemical produced each time we blub - create a charge when squashed.

It is a procedure called piezoelectricity (which, we will acknowledge, sounds more Like a method for cooking a 12in pepperoni stuffed crust) and it is long Been used to similar impact on materials such as quartz.

Indeed, it is compressing quartz which assist your mobile phone to vibrate, a reality which could come in handy in your next pub quiz.

But now boffins say the efficiency of lysozyme crystals could prove a close rival - the major difference being that, as a biological substance, it might be used in innovative ways in the world of medical implants.

And while that is very worthy and everything|, we at the Dave Desk Can not help wondering if the next time we are crying laughing at an episode of Taskmaster, or even weeping in the kitchen over a peeled onion, that such technological breakthroughs could not be placed to slightly more self-serving uses?

Charging up out new iPhone 8 , for example, because we are still all sobbing at the cost of it.
