A superelastic and pressure‐sensitive carbonaceous nanofibrous aerogel with a honeycomb‐like structure is fabricated by B. Ding and co‐workers through the combination of sustainable konjac glucomannan biomass and flexible SiO 2 nanofibers. As described on page 9512, 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.
