Superior through‐plane thermal conductivity in carbon fibers/spherical graphene/epoxy laminated composites for low‐altitude aircrafts

open access: yesInfoMat, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
To address the low through‐plane thermal conductivity (λ⊥) of carbon fiber/epoxy composites, which poses thermal management challenges in the expanding low‐altitude economy, we incorporated spherical thermally reduced graphene (s‐TRG) as a bridging filler. This architectural design achieved a λ⊥ of 2.73 W m–1 K–1 at 10 wt% loading.

Hybrid Deep Learning‐Based Networks for Deterministic and Probabilistic Wind Nowcasting Within a Wake Vortex Warning System for Vertiport Operations

open access: yesMeteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
This paper proposes an innovative framework for deterministic and probabilistic wind nowcasting consisting of various machine learning methods. The reliable short‐term wind predictions drive the Wake Vortex Warning System for Vertiports (WVWS‐V), which may enable safe air‐taxi operations at major airports. ABSTRACT Accurate wind prediction is essential
