Do you remember those iron-on decals? The ones where you could print on a special tacky paper with the home printer, then transfer it onto a T-shirt with an iron. Now, scientists have developed a very similar scheme, but instead of family reunion shirts, it prints electronic circuits. The method can print functional circuits onto items ranging from ukuleles to soda bottles.
