In article number 2001274, Zhigang Wu and colleagues propose dynamic compliant liquid alloy traces for constructing conformal and morphing electronics by using a conformal, attachable and dynamic (CAD)‐mask. Not only was the printing process adaptable in situ, but the 3D circuit was also robust under dynamic conditions. The process and circuits have high operability and robustness. This is a potential new solution for developing reconfigurable smart electronics or in the functional layers of soft robots.
