The front cover shows how a stretchable sensor made from a 3D structure comprising mesostructured silica fibers decorated with gold nanowires exhibits reliable resistance signals for real‐time response to radial artery blood pulses. This work reinforces the idea of smart material hybridization and may offer flexible materials for real‐time, in situ health monitoring applications. Details are given in the Full Paper by X. Han, W. Cheng, and co‐workers on page 1031 in Issue 8, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cplu.201900043).
