Electrical visualization of chemo-mechanical signal transduction using a smart gel-modified gate field effect transistor.
A field effect transistor (FET) whose gate surface has been modified with a stimuli-responsive "smart" polymer gel can visualize the kinetics of the chemo-mechanical signal transduction as a mode of its altered electrical characteristics without any labels.
