A highly transparent, conductive, and mechanically flexible electrode is designed and demonstrated by Krzysztof Kempa, Zhifeng Ren, Jinwei Gao, and co‐workers on page 873. It is based on an inexpensive and easily manufacturable uniform metallic network formed by evaporating/sputtering metals onto a template of a naturally cracked gel film, followed by gel removal. This electrode shows very good electro‐optical properties with transmittances ranging from 82% (with ca. 4.3 Ω/sq) to 45% (with ca. 0.5 Ω/sq).
