The image by Krenar Shqau and colleagues, shows how the interfacial contact resistance is critical in determiningsensitivity,powerconsumption,andstabilityofwearabledevicesfor electrotherapeutics.Anew material, classified as a Soft Mixed Ionic‐Electronic Conductor (MIEC), enables electrodes with low interfacial contact resistance and eliminates the need for hydrogels usually required in state‐of‐the‐art electrode. Thematerial, developed byColachis et al ofBattelle, has skin‐like properties and could have wideranging use in a variety of medical applications. DOI: 10.1002/app.48998
