Flexible and transparent E‐skin devices are achieved by combining silk‐molded micro‐patterned polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) ultrathin films. The E‐skin sensing device demonstrates superior sensitivity, a very low detectable pressure limit, a fast response time, and a high stability for the detection of superslight pressures, which may broaden their potential use as cost‐effective wearable electronics for healthcare applications.
