On September 8, 2026, the Science and Technology Daily reported on the latest developments in ultra-high-strength carbon fiber composites (commonly known as “black gold”) developed by teams from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. These materials have extremely low density and high strength, allowing a very small amount of material to lift a fully loaded large aircraft. This research demonstration showcased the breakthrough application potential of these materials in aerospace, marking a significant achievement in China’s manufacturing of high-end lightweight materials.
