A rational approach to crinkling ultralong CNTs into serpentine geometries by controlling their landing on a quartz substrate is demonstrated by Jin Zhang and co‐workers on p. 4158 . Using this method, the length, density, and number of parallel CNT segments in the serpentine CNTs were significantly increased. When incorporated into ultrahigh‐current devices, the performance of the devices could be improved by increasing the number of parallel segments in the serpentine CNT arrays.
