zerobreaking Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 if you give yeast sugar and warm water it will start reproducing. If you put higher voltage though it it will act as a semi-conductor. It is really awesome. http://www.wprld-of-a-new.comuf.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonY Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Ehm, cells and most organic molecules tend to have semi-conductive properties. As the link does not lead anywhere I am not sure where the awesomeness is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I fail to visualize this. A bucket of water, sugar and yeast. Two electrodes. High voltage? Water actually conducts, so where is the semiconductor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonY Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Usually only across small gaps. E.g. put a cell on top of an electrode, and then put another electrode on top of the cell. Measure current through the cell. The I/V curve is roughly that of a bad semiconductor. Or you could grow cells between electrodes. Depending on cell type it does not work for larger distances.
