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 ...
The current findings utilized the shape memory effect of SMAs to recover the ILMs' shape by adding heat. The researchers hope to build on these findings by using the superelasticity effect of SMAs to ...
A chance discovery in 1959 by military scientists led to Nitinol, a metal that remembers its shape. This nickel-titanium ...
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 ...
This atomistic model showing the coexistence of two solid phases of NiTi: austenite (blue), stable at higher temperatures, and martensite (brown), stable at lower temperatures. The martensite region ...
Porcher industries, a global pioneer in high-performance thermoplastic composites and a leader in technical textiles, unveils its latest innovation: a new range of multilayer hybrid textiles designed ...
