Researchers develop toothpaste-based transistor for smart pills and edible electronics

- By Nuadox Crew -

Researchers at IIT’s Center for Nano Science and Technology in Milan have developed a toothpaste-based transistor, advancing the field of edible electronics.

The transistor, made from copper phthalocyanine, a common toothpaste whitening agent, is expected to play a key role in smart pills designed to monitor health conditions from within the body.

Copper phthalocyanine’s conductive properties make it suitable as a semiconductor in organic electronics. The transistor operates at low voltage and is built on an edible ethylcellulose substrate, with gold particle electrical contacts.

This innovation follows the group’s earlier development of an edible battery and is part of a broader initiative to create edible devices for healthcare and food quality control.
