Nature has long offered human beings useful materials. In article number 1801657 , Chuan Fei Guo and co‐workers use dried leaves and petals as the dielectric layer in a capacitive‐type electronic skin (e‐skin), which exhibits high sensitivity and high stability over cyclic bends, and can be used for motion monitoring and tactile sensing. This work offers a general strategy for a green, cost‐effective, and scalable approach to make flexible e‐skins.
