New Paper Published in Nature

Members of the Rivnay lab, Jonathan Rivnay, Xudong Ji and Abhijith Surendran, have contributed to a new paper, Vertical organic electrochemical transistors for complementary circuits.

A transdisciplinary Northwestern University research team has developed a revolutionary transistor that is expected be ideal for lightweight, flexible, high-performance bioelectronics.

“This exciting new type of transistor allows us to speak the language of both biological systems, which often communicate via ionic signaling, and electronic systems, which communicate with electrons,” Rivnay said. “The ability of the transistors to work very efficiently as ‘mixed conductors’ makes them attractive for bioelectronic diagnostics and therapies.”
