The cooperation replicated in semiconductors is found naturally in viruses like the E. coli infection.
"Our research brings semiconductors to life by unlocking the same dynamic qualities that natural organisms like viruses use to adapt and survive," said Ying Diao, a researcher at the Beckman Institute and a co-author of the study.
"Molecular cooperativity helps living systems operate quickly and efficiently," Davies said. "We thought, 'If the molecules in electronic devices worked together, could those devices display those same benefits?'" "Since organic electronics are made from the same basic elements as living beings, like people, they unlock many new possibilities for applications," said Diao.
On a scale much smaller than a plastic game piece, the researchers gradually applied heat to the molecule's alkyl chain, causing the crystal itself to shrink. In an electronic device, this property translates to an easy, temperature-induced on-off switch.
