In article number 1807693 , Zhiwu Han and co‐workers report that, to maximize the sensitivity of mechanoreceptors, the near‐tip stress field of the “risky” slit is ingeniously used by scorpions to collect the dispersed mechanical energy contained in the mechanical signal. This work provides a novel bionic strategy for maximizing mechanoelectrical energy conversion efficiency of mechanoelectrical transducing micro/nanosystems.
