In article, number 2000371 , Ling Li, Zhiting Tian and co‐works systematically investigate the thermomechanical properties of the lightweight cuttlebone‐inspired structures via computational modeling for potential dual thermal and mechanical applications, such as heat sink and thermal protection. The characteristic “wall‐septa” microstructure of cuttlebone (background) allows for simultaneous light weight and a good balance between structural and thermal properties.
