A strategy based on graphene and nanocellulose is developed by P. S. Lee and co-workers on page 2022, for the fabrication of highly stretchable strain sensors for human-motion detection. The image shows the 3D macroporous structure of the composite film from intertwined nano cellulose fibrils and crumpled graphene. The stretchable sensors made from low-cost and solutionprocessable graphene and nano cellulose hold promising applications in emerging human-interactive devices.
