For internet-of-things applications, transistors that deliver high signal amplification (high gain) at low power will help conserve power and extend battery life. Jiang et al. used inkjet printing to fabricate an organic transistor in which silver metal contacts form a low Schottky barrier (less than 0.2 electron volt) with an organic semiconductor. The transistor delivered gain near the theoretical limit at a power below 1 nanowatt and detected electrophysiological signals from the skin with a wearable device.
