RAI-939 outperformed industry-leading aerospace material C103 by 125x. In a head-to-head torch test, Purdue Applied Research Institute confirmed that Radical AI’s RAI-939 sample exhibited superior environmental survivability to C103. C103 has been in use since the Apollo program, but its performance limitations and constrained supply have fueled a decades-long search for a replacement. Our lab discovered that replacement in just 16 weeks. Now, we aim to scale up production of the alloy to make bigger components.

At over 50 ft long, a sample transport system will serve as the highway for our self-driving materials lab in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. To take samples on and off this rail, the team has been prototyping fast—testing custom designs in days. Inspired by warehouse and fulfillment automations, our design challenge is to miniaturize traditional mechanisms for control and drive, further enabling a new speed of science.
