Biologically inspired adhesive architectures have been applied to develop reversible and repeatable skin patches for wound protection and smart skin‐attachable devices. In article number 1800100 , Changhyun Pang and co‐workers present highly adaptable, biocompatible, and repeatable skin‐adhesive patches with unfoldable 3D microtips in micropillars inspired by the infundibulum of octopus suction cups.
