The price of electronics has been reflecting the work necessary to make them, since they were invented. Silicon-based transistors broke many barriers when they have been invented several decades ago, making the transition from lamps to a whole new universe of possibilities.

Now, scientists are studying technologies that could change even the once all-mighty silicon transistors, by making them from organic materials. Physicists from Umeå University, Sweden, have invented electronic circuits that can be made from a chemical solution. “This makes it possible to paint thin films of electronic materials on flexible surfaces like paper or plastic,” explains Ludvig Edman.
