Introduction: Breaking the “One-Part, One-Material” Paradigm Modern defense systems operate in extreme environments where the performance and reliability of materials can dictate mission success or failure. Historically, engineers have been constrained by the “one-material-per-part” paradigm—selecting a single material for a given component based on compromise rather than optimization. This legacy …

Rethinking AI: From Tools to Teammates Artificial intelligence is undergoing a dramatic transformation. While generative AI amazed the world with its ability to produce text, images, and code on demand, the next phase is even more groundbreaking: agentic AI. Unlike conventional AI systems that simply respond to inputs, agentic AI …

Introduction Proteins are essential to virtually all biological processes, playing vital roles in cell signaling, metabolism, immunity, and more. Traditionally, protein production has relied on growing cells in bioreactors—a process that is time-consuming, expensive, and often inefficient, especially when manufacturing complex therapeutic proteins. A revolutionary shift is now underway in …
