Lightweight hierarchical composite aerogel for ultrawideband microwave absorption

Researchers have developed a lightweight aerogel composite using MoSe2, activated carbon, and montmorillonite that demonstrates high efficiency in microwave absorption. The material shows potential for radar cross-section reduction in stealth and aerospace applications.
Why it matters
Advancements in radar-absorbent materials have significant implications for military stealth technology and electromagnetic interference shielding.
