A highly flexible, free‐standing and antibacterial inorganic paper made from silver nanoparticle‐decorated ultralong hydroxyapatite nanowires has been developed. The as‐prepared paper exhibits advantages, such as high biocompatibility, high flexibility, long‐term sustained silver‐ion release, and high antibacterial activity. It is expected that this antibacterial paper can be applied in various fields such as in preventing bacterial infections in daily life and medical use. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Y. J. Zhu et al. on page 11224.
