    Transistor made of *electron-ion conducting polymer* mixed with wood:

    "The CW is prepared using a two-step strategy of wood delignification followed by wood amalgamation with a mixed electron-ion conducting polymer, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)–polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS)."

    I was suddenly picturing a sleek gamer desktop with unsubtle RGB lighting and acrylic panels highlighting sumptuous walnut veneers on the motherboard, cabling insulated with the smoothest silk, and a delicate aroma of apple pipe tobacco emanating from the heat sink.

    This is interesting; maybe the "organic semiconductors" that Jan Hendrik Schön was working on were plausible.

    The FTIR data is far from convincing (wrt the wood-PEDOT:PSS interaction), but cool demo.

    Bra jobbat, Isak!

    Very nice. Looks to be more of a FET.
