It might be interesting to examine the industries that serve as testbeds for new materials. While it took over 40 years for the first carbon fiber commercial plane to go into production, the first carbon fiber F1 car raced in 1981.

I'd be curious to know what the author had in mind here: "by giving authority to the people who understand the actual work"

Which people? the scientists doing the research? the engineers trying to build things with the new materials? the presidents of the universities or CEOs of the startups?

What authority?
