Researchers from Duke University have developed transistors crated from three carbon-based inks. The component has the potential to assist in addressing the environmental problem of non-recyclable electronics.

“Silicon-based computer components are probably never going away and we don’t expect easily recyclable electronics like ours to replace the technology and devices that are already widely used… But we hope that by creating new, fully recyclable, easily printed electronics and showing what they can do, that they might become widely used in future applications.”

Professor Aaron Franklin of Duke University
