The search for organic materials for use in optoelectronic device applications continues to grow with the advance of organic electronics. This presented work reviews the progress made at the Air Force Research Laboratory and University of Cincinnati in the processing and modification of salmon DNA into an optoelectronic grade material, and looks into the future of bio-organic electronics.
