Innovators Develop World's First Wooden Transistor.
Swedish researchers from Linköping University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology have created the world's first wooden transistor using balsa wood and conductive polymer. The transistor is shaped like a "T" and can function as a double-gate organic electrochemical transistor and functional on/off switch. The device could be used in bioelectronic and plant electronics, and is expected to be a stepping stone toward the development of smaller, more conductive and faster devices.
