    First, crystals are excellent oscillators. If you apply a small enough metal oxide to them, you can also make semiconductors. Sugar makes excellent crystals. I've not tried, but I can't see any obvious reason why you couldn't make a sugar-based transistor.


    This would seem to suggest it may be possible to build the ENTIRE computer (motherboard, chips and all) out of confectionary.

    Very cool. Thanks, /. for the interesting Xmas gift. The admin is giggling delightedly; he's enjoying this! :-)

    Gonna go crack a bottle of champagne now.
