Graphene can enable diverse fiber sensors with endless possibilities of design and application. Combining a suspended graphene sheet and a pre‐etched fiber tip with a micro‐hole and two gold electrodes, a miniature optical fiber current sensor based on a quasi‐static graphene NEMS is demonstrated. This sensor has simultaneously a high sensitivity, a short response time and an ultra‐compact size. It may pave the way for the practical applications of optical fiber current sensors based on thermal effects. (Picture: Bi‐Cai Zheng et al., 10.1002/lpor.201500077 pp. 517–522, in this issue)
