Recently launched collection! 🚗 In this collection, we bring together research communities at the intersection of risk and resilience engineering, transportation engineering, network science, and supply-chain management 🚛
Test-based equivalent-material method for collapse qualification of helically wound and layered cylindrical structures
Over the years, researchers have proposed helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, balloons, gliders, hoppers and hybrid concepts for exploring Mars. Which of these ideas actually make sense, and why?🚀 Read 'Behind The Paper' for a recent Comms Eng Perspective 🔍
LightPro: a linear photonic processor with full programmability
Ghost noise in single-fiber bidirectional transmission links and its suppression approaches
We have welcomed a few new Editorial Board Members over the last couple of months! First up, Prof Juanjuan Zhang joins us from Nankai University, China, handling manuscripts on exoskeletons, rehabilitation robots, gait analysis, musculoskeletal modelling, and more🚶➡️
Most recently, we are joined by Prof Yang Gao at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, who will help us with manuscripts on virtual power plants, microgrids, electricity-computing-carbon synergy, and digital twins of energy systems ⚡
Next, we welcome Prof Santosh Kumar Vipparthi from Indian Institute of Technology Ropar, India, who will handle papers on computer vision, deep learning, image and video restoration, and underwater and adverse-condition visual intelligence 👁️

Communications Engineering, Published online: 16 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s44172-026-00699-0Yuteng Zhang and colleagues propose a back-inferred equivalent material method for collapse qualification of helically wound and layered cylindrical structures. The framework infers a material law from radial compression test to predict critical collapse pressure without full-scale hydrostatic testing.
Communications Engineering, Published online: 17 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s44172-026-00707-3Amin Shafiee and colleagues propose LightPro, a programmable photonic processor leveraging phase change materials. This framework improves the scalability and footprint of energy-efficient optical hardware for next generation AI.

Communications Engineering, Published online: 22 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s44172-026-00712-6Wujie Wang and colleagues report a hybrid modulation technique that suppresses ghost noise in single fiber bidirectional links. This extends low-noise sensing distances sixfold, enabling large-scale sensing via existing communications optical cables.
A PhD project on Martian aerial robotics became a deeper question: not only how to fly on Mars, but which aircraft concepts make sense, where, why, and under what planetary conditions.
