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 ...

A study led by Tohoku University, Iwate University, The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), National Astronomical Observation of Japan, Tokyo City University, and Kyoto University developed a ...

Researchers used an Artificial Intelligence Materials Selection framework (AIMS) to discover a new shape memory alloy. The shape memory alloy showed the highest efficiency during operation achieved ...

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are metallic materials capable of undergoing reversible, diffusionless phase changes that enable two hallmark behaviours: the shape memory effect and superelasticity. In the ...

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 ...

The agency just performed a test that uses shape memory alloy to fold a drone's wings in flight. GM’s Working on Humanoid Robots and Shape-Memory Alloy Generators And you thought the Detroit giant ...

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

Iron-based shape memory alloys (Fe-SMAs) are emerging as multifunctional materials for the repair, strengthening and life-extension of civil infrastructure. Exploiting the shape memory effect and ...

Laser powder bed fusion, a 3D-printing technique, offers potential in the manufacturing industry, particularly when fabricating nickel-titanium shape memory alloys with complex geometries. Although ...

Can the Thermal Properties of Shape Memory Alloys be adjusted for Heating and Cooling Applications? Thermal parameters, especially thermal expansion, play a key role in the performance of shape memory ...

These airless Metl tires are made from nitinol, a shape-memory alloy that ‘stretches like rubber but is strong like titanium.’ Warning: Kickstarter. These airless Metl tires are made from nitinol, a ...
