This artwork illustrates nickel ethenetetrathioloate (NiETT), which is one of the highest performing n‐type thermoelectric materials, as discussed in articles 1800884 and 1900066 by Shannon K. Yee and co‐workers, flying towards the reader and into a futuristic wearable thermoelectric technology. The background is tessellated with pentagons forming hexagons, which illustrates the landscape of conjugated polymers (both 5 and 6 member rings). A watermark of the NiETT polymer appears in the lower left to provide the chemical context to the ball‐and‐stick representation of the polymer. The color scheme blends with the polymer giving the reader a sense of heat (yellow) and cold (blue), thereby accentuating the special issue theme.
