On page 7574, D. Pisignano and co‐workers unveil the cooperative, electromechanical mechanism that forms the base of the enhanced response of aligned arrays of piezoelectric nanostructures, such as nanowires and nanofibers, in mutual contact. Such multi‐layered arrays show unique advantages in terms of their piezoelectric response, and exhibit an enhancement of their piezoelectric voltage by two orders of magnitude compared with those of individual nanostructures.
