In article number 1705925 , Lei Liu, Y. Norman Zhou, and co‐workers demonstrate a highly efficient moisture‐driven electrical generator based on the diffusive flow of water in 3D nanowire networks. This new power device has excellent intrinsic flexibility and is applied in self‐powered wearable human‐breathing monitors, touch pads, and as a power source for light‐emitting diodes (LEDs). This concept constitutes an innovative paradigm of applications for self‐powered wearable electronics in the Internet‐of‐Things.
