Live Demonstration: Iontronic Integrated Circuit

Iontronics is a potential approach to expand electronic circuit capabilities by using ions as charge carriers to perform computation. This live demonstration showcases the integration of logic gates made from bipolar polyelectrolyte diodes on a printed circuit board (PCB), powered and controlled by a standard microcontroller. Visitors can interact with the iontronic circuit through a simple user interface, setting inputs and observing real-time outputs. Participants will also inject various solutions into the iontronic chip, allowing them to explore how changes in solution properties, such as ionic conductivity, affect circuit performance.
