A stimulus‐responsive polymer gel designed on a field‐effect transistor gate undergoes a reversible volume phase transition in response to a specific biomolecule. An abrupt permittivity change at the gel/gate interface during the transition gives rise to a chemical to electrical signal conversion; the signal is thus detectable via a transistor without the limit of the Debye length.
