Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="smll201470108-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Flexible tactile sensors with outstanding sensitivity in the low pressure regime are in demand for the development of artificial skin. On page 3625, X. Chen and co‐workers devise a resistive tactile sensor using microstructured graphene arrays as sensitive layers. The introduction of the anisotropic microstructure arrays makes the sensor sensitive and fast to external pressure. It also shows a remarkable capability in information transmission, demonstrating great potential for application in human‐machine interfaces. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh1c9n285x" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
