One of aerospace’s biggest challenges today isn’t just finding the lightest or strongest material.. no. It’s fully understanding which materials fit specific mission demands and have the ability to make the bold choice. Making the bold choice to actually use that material…. SpaceX’s choice to use stainless steel for Starship highlights this perfectly. While not the newest material, stainless steel’s durability, high-temperature tolerance, and impact strength make it ideal for Starship’s repeated launch and re-entry cycles. With a melting point of around 1,510°C, it endures re-entry without the heavy thermal protection systems required by composites, saving on weight and maintenance complexity. Contrast this with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which heavily relies on composites for weight savings but faces repair and maintenance challenges like microscopic cracking and delamination. These issues have driven up costs and grounded aircraft, showing that even advanced materials fall short if they aren’t mission-aligned. SpaceX’s approach underscores that smart material design isn’t about novelty—it’s about balancing durability, performance, and cost-efficiency. Starship’s use of steel is a sophisticated choice for deep-space exploration, and it’s time the industry took note. #SpaceX #Starship #Steel #MaterialScience

Elon Musk is one of the few tech leaders openly addressing the potential dangers of unchecked AI. He didn’t just talk about it—he co-founded OpenAI to ensure AI development stayed safe and accessible. But when OpenAI shifted from a nonprofit to a closed, profit-driven entity, Musk saw his vision compromised and decided to step away. OpenAI, once focused on transparency, now operates behind closed doors, prioritizing corporate interests over public accountability. Musk’s concerns about AI falling into too few hands were right on target. Without leaders like him, AI risks becoming a tool for monopolies and surveillance. If we ignore Musk’s warnings, we risk letting AI development slip into the hands of profit-driven corporations, with consequences we may deeply regret. #ElonMusk #AI #RisksOfAI

A few days ago, I encouraged my teammate to consider working away from his home, even though he works remotely. While working from home can sound convenient, a home environment often brings distractions—family interruptions, chores, or just a casual atmosphere—that can subtly impact productivity and growth. The difference might not be obvious right away, but over time, it can limit one’s potential to make an impact. It’s not about big cities versus small towns. Even in smaller cities, the right environment—like a professional workspace or a coworking area—can make a huge difference. For example, my home in Kanpur can’t compare to the focus and ambition I feel when working in a place like Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur Even if someone moves to a second-tier city like Lucknow, the key is to find a professional setting that fosters focus, drive, and career development. Choosing a workspace outside of the home means you’re setting yourself up not just for productivity but for real growth. Remote work offers flexibility, but don’t let it compromise your ambition. A focused environment lets you truly thrive. #RemoteWork #WorkEnvironment  #HealthyWorkplace

While solid-state batteries hold promise, they’re still far from ready for large-scale, practical use. We are not there, yet. Despite the hype, scaling solid-state batteries is fraught with challenges. Manufacturers face yields as low as 50% due to defects in solid electrolytes, which significantly impact performance and reliability. Fabrication costs are another barrier—producing solid-state cells costs 4-5 times more than traditional lithium-ion batteries, with each unit averaging around $800 compared to lithium-ion’s $150-$200. Energy density also remains an issue. Solid-state batteries currently achieve 300 Wh/kg in the lab, while lithium-ion has reached up to 250 Wh/kg in production. This minor gain does not justify the substantial manufacturing overhaul required. Additionally, testing protocols are ill-suited for these new chemistries. Standards like UL 1642 fail to account for solid-state’s unique properties, leaving the industry without reliable methods to assess their real-world safety and durability. Until production costs drop, energy density improves, and testing standards catch up, solid-state batteries will remain an exciting theory rather than a transformative technology.

I strongly believe that current battery testing standards like UL 1642 and IEC 62133, built for traditional lithium-ion batteries, are outdated and slowing down innovation for advanced battery tech like solid-state and lithium-sulfur cells. These standards don’t fit new technologies. For example, solid-state batteries, which are safer at high temperatures, are tested for flammability risks designed for older, liquid-based batteries. Likewise, lithium-sulfur batteries, with their unique charging patterns, are held to lithium-ion rules, making results inaccurate and hindering development. To keep up, we need updated standards that assess new safety, efficiency, and durability metrics specific to each advanced battery type. Changing these standards isn’t just helpful—it’s essential if we want next-gen batteries to reach their potential.
