Memory alloys that spring back into a pre-defined shape are nothing new, but regular bending means they fatigue and fail within a relatively short time-scale. Now, a team of engineers has developed an ...

A team of researchers from the University of Maryland (US) and Kiel University (Germany) have produced a metal alloy that can be deformed and heated 10 million times before failure. Share on Facebook ...

Shape memory alloys are metals that return to their original shape after deformation. These materials have been used in various applications for decades, but applying them to tires is a new and ...

Researchers have developed a novel copper-based alloy that exhibits a special shape memory effect at temperatures as low as -200°C. The work has been published in the journal Communications ...

Shape-memory alloys, as their name implies, possess the ability to return to their original shape after being stretched or squished. Nickel-titanium shape-memory alloys, for example, are used as ...
