Summary: The study demonstrates a method to fabricate conductive lightweight aerogels with superelasticity and high thermal insulation by mimicking the plant Parthenocissus tricuspidata. These aerogels show high efficiency in EMI shielding applications and exhibit good thermal insulation performance. By controlling the composition ratio, the density and EMI shielding effectiveness of the aerogels can be adjusted accordingly.

Summary: Researchers have found that annealing can be used to fabricate a carbon film with a graphenic structure, which inherits the properties of rotated/slipped few-layer graphene and exhibits high flexibility and anisotropic transport properties. The annealed, graphenic film has a nearly intact graphene lattice structure with random interlayer rotations. It shows a high anisotropic thermal conductivity ratio and excellent electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness.

Summary: Beryllium polynitride (BeN4), synthesized under high-pressure conditions, exhibits an anisotropic lattice structure and thermal conductivity. The bonding anisotropy and bonding anharmonicity contribute to the anisotropic behavior in both phononic and electronic components of its thermal conductivity. The pressure-driven evolution of the interlayer bonding also plays a significant role in the interlayer thermal conductivity.

Summary: Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors with ambient encapsulation exhibit unique physical properties desirable for various applications. However, limited studies have been conducted on the in-plane thermal conductivity measurements in encapsulated 2D semiconductors. To address this challenge, the authors integrated the FDTR and OTRS techniques in the same experimental platform.

Summary: In this article, a framework for in situ damage detection of CFRPs is proposed, which includes the design of an EMT sensor and an absolute image reconstruction method. The proposed method, cmt-SDM, overcomes the ill-posed problem in absolute image reconstruction and shows better performance compared to the traditional SDM method. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework in monitoring and evaluating the local damage of CFRP specimens.

Summary: Highly textured porous alumina was successfully fabricated using pulse electric current sintering (PECS) method, and its properties were measured in two directions. It was found that the porosity and thermal conductivity of the porous alumina varied along different directions, and the bending strength and thermal shock strength also showed significant differences in the two directions.

Summary: To solve the problems of insufficient precision of armature velocity and inductance gradient in electromagnetic track launcher finite element calculation, an improved dynamic conductivity electromagnetic-thermal coupling model is proposed. The model, based on finite element analysis, considers the influence of dynamic conductivity on armature velocity and inductance gradient, and its parameters are identified using a PSO-GA hybrid algorithm. Experimental verification shows that the improved model reduces the calculated error from 5.79% to 1.18%, providing a theoretical basis for true simulation of electromagnetic track launch.
