On page 1480, Y. Zhu and S. Yao review the recent progress in stretchable conductors and related devices based on bottom‐up assembled nanomaterials. Highly conductive and stretchable silver nanowire conductors can serve as the compliant electrodes for wearable sensors. Such wearable sensors can be used to monitor human motion and electrophysiological signals, as well as the surrounding environment, holding promise for prosthetics, robotics, and wearable healthcare applications.
