Liquid metal nanoparticles that may be mechanically sintered are demonstrated by R. K. Kramer and co‐workers on page 2355. Dispersing the nanoparticles in a carrier solvent results in an ink‐jettable solution, allowing for scalable and high‐throughput manufacturing of soft conductive systems. One potential application for this processing technology is wearable electronics, as depicted by the data glove featured in the cover art. Artistic rendition created by Mr. Alex Bottiglio.
