A multifunctional electronic skin tattoo system is developed by drawing carbon nanotube patterns on electrospun silk nanofiber mats, as described by Sunghwan Kim and co‐workers in article number 2008308. The tattoo system offers ultrathin, ultralight, biocompatible, deformable, and skin adhesion. Heat‐stimulated drug delivery with controlled temperature and electrophysiological signal monitoring are possible using this electronic tattoo system in a noninvasive manner.
