Front Cover : In article number 2100130 by Yen‐Wen Lu and co‐workers, a fabric tactile sensor, based on the fact that contact resistance between two surfaces changes when pressure is applied, is developed by using a screenprinting technique for subtle pressure sensing (<10 kPa) at high sensitivity. Wrist pulse measurements and spatial pressure mapping using the sensors with wireless modules are demonstrated for wearable health monitoring and internet‐of‐things applications.
