A new bioinspired strategy to fabricate flexible pressure sensors with touch sensitivity is reported by B. Su, W. Cheng, and co‐workers on page 1886. Inspired by mimosa ‐ a plant can close its leaves under external stimuli ‐ a simple, efficient, low‐cost, and scalable direct‐molding method is proposed to yield sensitive pressure sensors, leading to the fabrication of artificial touch‐sensing “mimosa leaves”. This mimosa‐inspired approach opens a new route to fabricating flexible pressure sensors in a cost‐effective and scalable manner.
