A highly sensitive, wearable, and multimodal skin sensor is described by Y. Jeong, D. H. Kim, and co‐workers on page 4178, using hierarchically engineered elastic carbon nanotube microyarns. Piezocapacitive all‐carbon skin sensors simultaneously detect subtle heterogeneous external stimuli, including mechanical deformations, touch, temperature gradients, and even biological fluids, which enables in situ human monitoring, as well as recognition of a robot–human environmental interface.
