A novel carbonized plain‐weave silk‐fabric‐based wearable strain sensor is proposed by Y. Y. Zhang and co‐workers on page 6640. The sensor can be stretched up to 500% with high sensitivity in a wide strain range and can be assembled into wearable devices for the detection of both large and subtle human activities, showing great potential in human‐motion detection and robotics.
