This week I welcome Dr. David Hicks and Dr. James Chen on the show. We'll be discussing LIFT, a Detroit-based national manufacturing innovation institute, and its recent partnership with the University of Buffalo on a project to accelerate the development of materials for hypersonic systems.

LIFT, which is operated by the American Lightweight Materials Manufacturing Innovation Institute (ALMMII), is a public-private partnership between the U.S. Department of Defense, industry, and academia driving the U.S. mobility sector toward the future manufacturing revolution to support our nation's economy and enhance our national security.
