Bricking your power supply could be a good thing

Is there nothing that can't be solved by a good brick?

One of the oldest architectural materials in human history might solve everyone's electrical storage needs.

The humble brick, recently seen during the US riots, apparently contains secret powers which can be used to provide electricity.

Boffins have modified a common red brick -- the same kind you'll find on sale for under a dollar at your local hardware store -- so that it could power a green LED light.

This proof-of-concept for a "smart brick" reveals that brick technology, which dates back thousands of years, can be tweaked to have futuristic applications, including electrical conductivity and sensing capabilities.
