Claim 14:
15. A method comprising:
applying, by a bias circuit, specific bias conditions to a transistor on a chip, wherein the transistor comprises:
a channel region; and
a gate structure adjacent to the channel region and comprising:
a reservoir configured to contain a conductive fluid; and
at least one gate electrode at a fixed location within the reservoir, wherein an orientation of the channel region relative to a top surface of the conductive fluid depends on movement of the chip and wherein contact between the at least one gate electrode and the conductive fluid depends upon the orientation of the channel region relative to the top surface of the conductive fluid; and

sensing, by a sense circuit, at least one electrical property of the transistor in response to the specific bias conditions.
