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.

Wooden Transistor: A Groundbreaking Invention

Researchers from the Wallenberg Wood Science Center have created the world's first wooden transistor, which is 3 centimeters across and switches at less than one Hertz. The transistor holds promise for specialized applications including biodegradable computing and implanting into living plant material. The researchers leveraged the structural stability and porosity of balsa wood to create conducting channels inside the wood's pores and electrochemically modulate their conductivity with the help of a penetrating electrolyte and a conducting polymer.

Innovative Researchers Create Wooden Transistor for Electronic Plants.

Researchers at Linköping University and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology have developed the world's first wooden electrical transistor, which can function continuously and regulate electricity flow without deteriorating. The transistor is made of balsa wood, which is evenly structured throughout and is a grainless wood. The breakthrough in the industry is a major achievement in terms of efficiency and sustainability.
