Abstract

Abstract : A superelastic and pressure‐sensitive carbonaceous nanofibrous aerogel with a honeycomb‐like structure is fabricated by B. Ding and co‐workers through the combination of sustainable konjac glucomannan biomass and flexible SiO2 nanofibers. As described on page 9512, the aerogels can detect dynamic pressure with a wide pressure range and high sensitivity, which enables real pressure signals such as human blood pulses to be monitored in real time and in situ.
