India, Jan. 9 -- The Government of India has issued a release:
A newly discovered semiconductor property of a known self-assembling bacterial shell protein could pave the way for safe, environmentally friendly electronics-from mobile phones and smart watches to medical instruments and environmental sensors.
Traditional semiconductor materials, such as silicon, are valuable technological tools but come with limitations. They are rigid, require high-energy processing, and contribute to the growing problem of electronic waste. Thus, there is increasing demand for sustainable, soft, and biocompatible electronics (wearables, implantable, green sensors).
A team of scientists from Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST), Mohali, an auto...
