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 ...

This Collection welcomes original research on shape memory alloys, with a focus on their synthesis, structural and functional characterisation, and emerging applications. Shape memory alloys (SMAs) ...

Shape memory alloys (SMA) remember their original shape and return to it after being heated. Similar to how a liquid transforms into a gas when boiled, SMAs undergo a phase transformation when heated ...

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 ...

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 ...

Endowed with the power of memory, certain alloys can magically return to their original shape when heated or deformed. However, the repeated back-and-forth between the original and new configuration ...
