In article number 21, Jurgen Kosel and co‐workers design a wearable, flexible piezoresistive graphene sensor by a facile, one‐step laser‐printing fabrication process. The sensors feature long‐term stability, biocompatibility, and a low detection limit in combination with an extensive dynamic range. They can function as wearable artificial skins, monitors for heart rate or plantar pressure, or provide a tactile sense. They can also be employed in harsh environments.
