Ion transistor logic

Ionic bipolar transistors are based on two cation- or anion-selective electrodes, a channel from a neutral polymer electrolyte, and a base electrode with complementary ion selectivity that controls the salt concentration in the channel and thus the conductivity. Magnus Berggren and colleagues have n...

More Information
Summary:Ionic bipolar transistors are based on two cation- or anion-selective electrodes, a channel from a neutral polymer electrolyte, and a base electrode with complementary ion selectivity that controls the salt concentration in the channel and thus the conductivity. Magnus Berggren and colleagues have now integrated such devices in unipolar and complementary inverters and NAND gates.
