ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Imagine untwisting a finger-size spring, then holding the flame from a lighter underneath the unraveled section. Like magic, it twirls itself into a spring again because the metal ...

Shape memory alloys (SMA) remember their original shape and return to it after being heated. Similar to how a liquid transforms into a gas when boiled, SMAs undergo a phase transformation when heated ...

This Collection welcomes original research on shape memory alloys, with a focus on their synthesis, structural and functional characterisation, and emerging applications. Shape memory alloys (SMAs) ...

A collaborative effort by leading Japanese institutions has led to the development of copper-based alloy (Cu-Al-Mn) with a unique “shape memory effect” at a low temperature of -200°C (−328 °F). This ...

Endowed with the power of memory, certain alloys can magically return to their original shape when heated or deformed. However, the repeated back-and-forth between the original and new configuration ...

In this video I talk about an amazing type of metal called a shape memory alloy. The specific one in this video is called nitinol. It is an alloy of nickel and titanium. It forms an amazing structure ...

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) – Fort Wayne Metals is teaming up with a NASA research center to advance technology that could support missions to the moon. Shape memory alloy tire (Courtesy of NASA) Fort ...

Founded in 2015, Shape Memory Alloys operates in Advanced Hardware & Technology offering the manufacture of shape memory alloys and promoting research and development ...

A visible shape-metal alloy seismic system keeps the building plumb, and makes it a teaching tool for earthquake-resilient ...
