OAK RIDGE, Tennessee, Dec. 2 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued the following news release:
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory demonstrated that an additively manufactured polymer layer, when applied to carbon fiber reinforced plastic, or CFRP, can serve as an effective protector against aircraft lightning strikes. CFRP is usually used on an airplane's exterior because it's lighter than traditional metal.
