The Materials Flywheel: How AI is Powering Next-Gen Aerospace w/ Joseph Krause
In aerospace and defense, every breakthrough is built on material science.
From the alloys powering jet engines to the composites shielding spacecraft, innovation isn’t just about design—it’s about what the machines are made of.
Yet the way we discover and scale new materials hasn’t meaningfully changed in more than a century.
Research cycles drag on for decades, costs skyrocket, and supply chains remain fragile.
Meanwhile, other nations have poured resources into material science—developing advanced alloys, stockpiling rare earths, and in many ways, weaponizing the periodic table.
That…
