Researchers in China have developed a low-cost composite material with radar-absorbing properties, typically found in expensive military stealth technology. The material, composed of expanded graphite and titanium dioxide, was detailed in a peer-reviewed academic paper. This breakthrough suggests the potential for large-scale production of stealth coatings at significantly reduced prices. The development could have implications for military applications, potentially making stealth technology more accessible. Experts suggest this could disrupt the current balance of power, as advanced radar absorption was previously limited to high-end military platforms due to cost. Further research is needed to determine the material’s full capabilities and potential deployment.
