Superelastic and pressure‐sensitive carbonaceous nanofibrous aerogels with a honeycomb‐like structure are fabricated through the combination of sustainable konjac glucomannan biomass and flexible SiO 2 nanofibers. The aerogels can detect dynamic pressure with a wide pressure range and high sensitivity, which enables real pressure signals, such as human blood pulses, to be monitored in real time and in situ.
