Egg-based Electronics

Electricity is formed through various methods. One of those is a breakthrough in the science world, using eggs for electronics. Surprisingly, eggs have properties of dielectric, which allows for them to be electrical insulators. Recent studies have found that the combination of hydrogen peroxide and egg whites (albumen) form memory devices.

The discovery of these memory devices, which are both transparent and flexible, benefit society greatly with artificial intelligence and overall brain memory. The images above show the albumen (a.) and the transparent memory device (c.). In order to get a better idea of what the memory device, or cell, is made of, take this diagram, which shows the different parts of the cell formed from the albumen and hydrogen peroxide. The cell is ultimately used for resistive memories, which provide memory through resistance instead of electric currents.

Changes from low and high current act as the change in turning the memory device from "on" and "off." This all works through a set of traps, which are the ions, and, when positively charged, turn the device off. However, when a the ion is negatively charged, the device turns on. In short, negative voltage turns memory device off, while positive voltage turns memory device on. This breakthrough for memory is still being studied, and while impressive, lacks complete understanding of the entire mechanism. New methods to improve the transparent, memory device will be discovered but this breakthrough paved the way for innovating the artificial intelligence/brain memory world. There have been devices similar to this, however, as stated before, the resistive quality of this particular cell allows for durable and overall better performance than non-resistive memory devices.
