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.

When we started the company it was a big technological bet on the combination of AI, robotics, automation and software coming together to change the way physical science worked. It was about using all of that to create a closed-loop approach to experiments that compounded with every turn. Less than 18 months after founding we'd gone from 2 people in @josephfkrause apartment to a full team that had just completed the build of System One, our first lab. 12 months later, we're recognized by @TIME. Science will continue to develop technologically and @RadicalAI will be a massive part of that change. We've gone from bet to recognition. Now more work to do to push this forward on a broader scale.
Today, @TIME featured our self-driving lab on its 2026 Best Inventions list. Radical's self-driving lab discovers and develops novel materials at the speed of AI, enabling 10x more material discoveries per scientist. By combining AI, robotics, and experimental data, our high-throughput system can unlock advanced materials for new technologies. We are transforming how the world does science. #TIMEBestInventions time.com/collection/best-inv…

Today, @TIME featured our self-driving lab on its 2026 Best Inventions list. Materials will be what accelerates the possibilities of new inventions, not what slows them down. Congratulations to the entire @RadicalAI team on this achievement...the world-changing potential of Radical AI’s self-driving lab is something we’ve believed in for a long time. Today, a much larger audience is taking notice.

Our alloying arm system is our most complicated yet: built to enable materials discovery at unmatched speeds. The arm has four interchangeable tools, and the station serves as a key connector for high-throughput synthesis of novel alloys. Invention runs on Radical.
