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 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 ...

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) ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

A titanium-based shape-memory alloy is constructed without nickel to increase manufacturability and eliminate some biocompatibility concerns. With material properties that fall between standard ...
