Organosilicon Defies Convention: From Insulator to Next-Generation Semiconductor
In the electronics industry, “organosilicon” has long been synonymous with insulating materials, widely used for circuit protection, sealing, and medical devices. However, recent research from the University of Michigan has challenged this traditional perception—scientists discovered that a new type of organosilicon can exhibit semiconductor properties and even display a full color spectrum depending on its chain length. This breakthrough not only challenges fundamental concepts in materials science but also opens up new possibilities for flexible electronics, displays, and wearable devices.
