Tunable transistors are components found in circuits of various electronic and computing devices. Their primary role is to enable real-time adjustments in a circuit\u2019s performance, allowing it to optimize its functions according to changing conditions, such as signal strength, frequency, or environmental factors.<\/p>\n<p>Tunable transistors are found in a variety of devices ranging from smartphones to radar systems and quantum computing applications. However, they are typically made of silicon, a material that doesn\u2019t break down easily and contributes to the growing e-waste problem. In their new study, the researchers show that silk can solve this problem as it has the potential to enable the development of biodegradable electronic devices.<\/p>\n<p>Silk is well-known for its durability, elasticity, and strength, and this is why scientists in different corners of the world have been trying to use this material in hi-tech applications. However, silk proteins are naturally disordered, acting like messed-up entangled spaghetti strands, which is why integrating them into electronics is challenging. According to the researchers, the next step would be to add other types of protein to the silk-graphene material to improve its properties. Plus, they plan to develop different types of artificial silk using the current material.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/interestingengineering.com\/science\/silk-protein-biodegradable-circuits-e-waste\">Interesting Engineering<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-586\/\">Silk protein fragments to make biodegradable electronics, solve e-waste challenges<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,4065,16155],"class_list":["post-133819","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-ewaste","tag-silk-protein"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133819","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133819"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133819\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
