INST Scientists Discover Semiconductor Protein for Green Electronics

Scientists in India have found a special protein from bacteria that can act like the materials used in electronics, such as those in phones or medical devices.

This protein forms thin sheets that can create tiny electrical charges when exposed to UV light, similar to a tiny solar cell.

The best part is that this protein is flexible, safe for the body, and can break down naturally without harming the environment.

This discovery could lead to new types of wearable health monitors, skin-safe UV detectors, and even sensors that can be safely used inside the human body or in the environment without causing pollution.

The research was published in a scientific journal and shows great promise for creating greener and more sustainable electronic devices in the future.
