Abstract: The carbon atom plays a fundamental role in regulating biochemical reactions in living organisms. It does so thanks to its unique properties as a thermistor and semiconductor as well as having a negative temperature coefficient. This paper explores the foundation of these characteristics of the carbon atom. Examples are presented for real-life applications exploiting these unique features of the carbon atom.
Keywords: semiconductor, thermistor, carbon atom.
