I'm surprised people 🌲wood🌲 try something like this
“We’ve come up with an unprecedented principle. Yes, the wood transistor is slow and bulky, but it does work, and has huge development potential,” says Isak Engquist, senior associate professor at the Laboratory for Organic Electronics at Linköping University.
Creating the WECT isn't about trying to achieve speed and power, it's for seeing if and how something like this could be done in the first place. It has the potential to help us produce transistors out of commonly found biodegradable material. The larger transistor may lend itself to holding higher current, and the understanding of electronics and wood may even provide a path to directly controlling plants further down the line. But for right now, its bark is stronger than its byte.
“We didn’t create the wood transistor with any specific application in mind. We did it because we could. This is basic research, showing that it’s possible, and we hope it will inspire further research that can lead to applications in the future,” says Isak Engquist.Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.
