Inspiration is drawn from natural nacre to fabricate ultra‐tough inverse artificial nacre based on epoxy‐graphene. As shown by Q. F. Cheng et al. in their Communication on page 7636 ff., many graphene oxide nanosheets can be manipulated into lamellar scaffolds, similar to nacre‐like structure through the freeze‐casting technique. The inverse nacre‐inspired concept provides a platform for the fabrication of high‐performance bulk nanocomposites.
