The fabrication of highly durable skin‐mimicking sensors remains challenging because of the unavoidable fatigue and physical damage that sensors are subjected to in practical applications. In this study, ultra‐durable ionic skins (I‐skins) with excellent healability and high sensitivity are fabricat...
