Although an airliner's engines may be quite loud on takeoff, its wings also create a lot of wind noise when it's landing. According to a new study, the latter problem could be addressed with the ...

In a recent review published in Micromachines, researchers from Spain and Portugal highlighted the synergistic combination of shape-memory polymers (SMP) with carbon nanotubes (CNT) to enhance ...

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 ...

As air traffic is projected to increase dramatically over the next decade, reducing noise pollution becomes an even more necessary and demanding challenge. Decades of research have been dedicated to ...

Scientists are one step closer to designing porous materials that can change and retain their shapes -- a function known as shape-memory effect. Kyoto University scientists are one step closer to ...

Shape memory alloys are very versatile and therefore can be applied in multiple industries, most notably the automotive, aerospace, biomedical, and robotics sectors. This is because the material is ...
