Coffee can increase flow in semiconductor components by up to 100x

Is there nothing coffee can't do?

Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) institute boffins in Japan say the use of a coffee compound can increase current flow in semiconductor components by up to 100x.

It is not a matter of getting your computer to drink coffee, as that is likely to have a negative effect, even if it has chocolate sprinkled on top of the white foam. But the boffins say that a*thin layer of caffeic acid on the surface of an electrode facilitated a vastly improved current flow through an organic semiconductor device.

According to the AIST blog the research found the action of the caffeic acid on the electrode causes molecules on the surface of the component to spontaneously line up, reducing the resistance to current flow and creates a100x boost to current flow.
