Abstract

Abstract : In article number1600751, Alon A. Gorodetsky and co‐workers describe color‐changing devices that are inspired by the constituent components of optically‐active ultrastructures found in cephalopod skin cells. These devices are electrically controlled and exhibit distinct shifts in their reflectance and coloration due to the injection/extraction of protons. The findings hold significance for developing novel camouflage technologies, understanding ion‐transporting biological systems, and engineering improved bioelectronic platforms.
