Increasing the dimensionality of transistors with hydrogels
Researchers have developed a novel 3D semiconductor material using hydrogels that allows for the creation of transistors with millimeter-scale modulation thickness. This breakthrough integrates organic electronics, soft matter, and electrochemistry, resulting in a material that is tissue-like, soft, and biocompatible. The new hydrogel-based transistors demonstrate high on/off switching ratios and are capable of mimicking real neuronal connections, potentially paving the way for advanced bioelectronic systems. AI
