A flexible membrane with sub‐5 nm single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) pores is developed by F. Fornasiero and co‐workers, as described on page 5871, for application as a key component of protective, yet breathable fabrics. The SWNTs are shown to enable exceptionally fast transport of water vapor under a concentration driving force. Thus, membranes having SWNTs as moisture‐conductive pores feature outstanding breathability and provide a high degree of protection from biological threats by size exclusion.
