An all‐soft‐matter composite consisting of liquid metal microdroplets embedded in a soft elastomer matrix is presented by C. Majidi and co‐workers on page 3726. This composite exhibits a high dielectric constant while maintaining exceptional elasticity and compliance. The image shows the composite's microstructure captured by 3D X‐ray imaging using a nano‐computed tomographic scanner.
