In article number 1800182 , Rui Igreja and co‐workers develop a strategy for the microstructuration of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films into micro‐cones using a laser engraving/cutting machine, and covered them with a carbon ink. The films are used for a micro‐structured electronic skin pressure sensor placed on a human wrist for the detection of the blood pressure wave, exhibiting great potential for health applications.
