"Both of those characteristics sound compelling. The material sounds like it could have lots of functions," Dr Douglas Weibel, of the department of chemistry and chemical biology at Harvard University told the BBC News website.
The transistors used in the circuits and the semiconductors both use "organic" materials based on chains of carbon atoms.
This makes them mechanically flexible and relatively inexpensive to fabricate.
There is even speculation that because of the way the "skin" is created, it might be able to do things normal skin can't...which means, a fully functioning ROBO-SEXBOT, might just be around the corner!
Now, if we can only get some people working on the "pleasure circuit" things'll really start to take off.
