Abstract Hydrogels have received great attention due to their molecular designability and wide application range. However, they are prone freeze at low temperatures the existence of mass water molecules, which can damage flexibility transparency, greatly limiting use in cold environments. Although adding cryoprotectants reduce freezing point hydrogels, it may also deteriorate mechanical properties face risk cryoprotectant leakage. Herein, microphase‐separated structures hydrogels regulated confine molecules sub‐6 nm nanochannels increase proportion bound water, endowing with intrinsic anti‐freezing properties, high strength, good stretchability, remarkable fracture energy, puncture resistance. Even after being kept liquid nitrogen for 1000 h, hydrogel still maintains transparency. The exhibit excellent low‐temperature shape memory intelligent optical waveguide properties.

Abstract Conductive hydrogels with high water content, excellent adhesion, and mechanical flexibility have garnered significant attention for flexible wearable electronic applications. Despite advancements, achieving robust electrical properties under extreme environmental conditions remains a key challenge. In this study, cost‐effective, lignin‐tannin nanosphere graphene‐doped hydrogel (LTGH) synthesized by dispersing graphene within the matrix via self‐assembled sodium lignosulfonate tannic acid nanospheres is presented. The LTGH exhibits exceptional conductivity (28 S m −1 ), ultra‐high sensitivity (maximum gauge factor ≈350), an ultra‐low detection limit (<0.5%). Additionally, it demonstrates outstanding stretchability (>1800%), strong adhesion (>50 kPa), UV resistance, antibacterial properties. By incorporating ethylene glycol, maintains reliable performance across wide temperature range (−80 to 50 °C). Furthermore, successfully integrated into convolutional neural network‐based sign language recognition system, compact lightweight design accuracy, rapid responsiveness, cost efficiency. This work highlights superior sensing capabilities of conductive hydrogels, underscoring their potential in all‐weather technologies.
