After decades of being laboratory curiosities , organic semiconductors catch up with their inorganic counterparts. Ordinarily an excellent insulator, in a field‐effect transistor tetracene 1 transfigures into a semiconductor that rivals amorphous silicon at room temperature, a superconductor below 2.5 K, and the first organic light‐emitting material that can act as a solid‐state injection laser.
