Stretchable high‐frequency transmission lines with twisted‐pair geometry integrated into stretchable serpentines for wearable electronics are presented by Z. Ma and co‐workers on page 4635. This shielded transmission line that is in the form of an ultrathin, conformal structure can effectively confine microwave frequency signals and transmit them with ultra‐low radio‐frequency radiation losses, which enables electrical interconnects for epidermal electronic systems requiring high‐speed wireless communication capabilities.
