A reservoir‐guided silver‐nanoparticle soldering strategy is developed for bending‐resistant 3D graphene–metal heterojunctions. Controlled hot‐plate evaporation confines conductive ink within the metal reservoir, suppressing spreading and protecting the LIG interface from deformation‐induced fracture.

Coupled Electronic and Ionic Conductivity in Strain‐Stiffening Hydrogels
A soft PVA–PABA hydrogel is developed that couples tissue‐like strain‐stiffening mechanics with dual ionic–electronic conduction. Dynamic boronic crosslinks enable self‐assembled percolative pathways, producing deformation‐responsive resistance with a stabilization plateau at stiffening onset, revealing alignment‐assisted charge transport and advancing
