What materials did researchers at Tel Aviv University use to create biodegradable transistors?

Answer:  blood, milk and mucus proteins

Researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) turned to blood, milk and mucus proteins to create transistors the researchers say could form the basis of a new generation of electronic devices that are both flexible and biodegradable, according to Gizmag.com.

When the researchers applied various combinations of blood, milk, and mucus proteins to any base material, according to the website, the molecules self-assembled to create a semi-conducting film on a nano-scale.
