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 ...

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 ...

The robots are built using shape-memory alloy materials, which are then deformed into the desired shape. Heating these alloys up causes them to spring back to their original shape, and a thin coating ...

Fort Wayne Metals on Thursday announced it is working with NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland to advance shape memory alloy material technology for innovative rover tires that could support the ...
