Stretchy transistors

Not sure if this has been covered already (I couldn't find anything on a quick search). Researchers at Stanford have developed transistors that can be stretch and twisted sufficiently to conform to human/animal skin or organs. The semiconducting polymer DPPT-TT was already known, but since it is crystalline tended to be stiff. The innovation here is to combine the polymer in an elastomer matrix, causing DPPT-TT molecules to form in long-chain fibers which are much more flexible.
