On page 373, I. R. Efimov, J. A. Rogers, and co‐workers report classes of ultrathin injectable sensors for spatiotemporal determination of temperature, thermal conductivity, and heat capacity of biological tissues. These flexible devices provide unique capabilities in monitoring of depth‐dependent changes in the properties of myocardial tissue that result from cardiac ablation therapy. The materials and mechanical designs provide minimally invasive, biocompatible operation.
