In article number 1700193 , Yingying Zhang and co‐workers report the development of an ultrastretchable wearable heater with low driving voltage, based on a weft‐knitted conductive fabric. The low driving voltage (1.5 V for 50 °C) and stable Joule heating performance against large strains (up to 70%) are promising for its application in personal heating systems and healthcare management.
