"The most used semiconductor material, Si, which serves so well | "The most used semiconductor material, Si, which serves so well in electronics, happens to have rather poor properties when it comes to biological environments. In salty solutions and especially with applied potentials Si becomes easily corroded. This opens the stage for new and seemingly exotic materials: carbon based semiconductors. Carbon is one of the main elements in organic chemistry, which concerns materials ranging from plastic foils to biological systems like enzymes or even cells."
