Millenniums-old natural dye indigo - a “new” ambipolar organic semiconductor. Indigo shows balanced electron and hole mobilities of 1 × 10−2 cm2 V−1 s−1 good stability against degradation in air. Inverters with gains 105 the first 110 third quadrant are demonstrated. Fabricated entirely from biodegradable compounds, these devices show large potential such materials for green electronics.
