Besides superfluous features like touchscreens and internal cameras, basic refrigerator technology hasn't changed much in decades. They still chill your milk by way of chemical refrigerants and ...
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 are exotic materials that can be deformed at room temperature and return to their "remembered," ...
A team from Lanzhou University of Technology have developed a novel NiTi shape memory allow (SMA) with harmonic ...
Laser powder bed fusion, a 3D-printing technique, offers potential in the manufacturing industry, particularly when fabricating nickel-titanium shape memory alloys with complex geometries. Although ...
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 ...
Humanity may be divided on a great many issues, but most would agree that it would be very cool to have airplane wings made of shapeshifting metal. The geometry of those fabulous foils affects ...
Small pieces of the alloy were put through 10 million "shape memory" cycles Engineers have produced an alloy that springs back into shape even after it is bent more than 10 million times. "Memory ...
