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 secret to how steel hardens and shape-memory alloys snap into place lies in rapid, atomic-scale shifts that scientists have struggled to observe in materials. Now, Cornell researchers are ...

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 ...

CAMBRIDGE, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cambridge Mechatronics Limited (CML), world leaders in system level solutions for Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) applications, is pleased to announce CM401, CML’s own ...

The magnetic shape memory effect can be used for designing actuators where the element elongates based on the presence of a magnetic field. The elongation can be reversed fully either by the ...

Another Kickstarter, another opportunity for people to get mad at delayed and poorly functioning (if delivered at all) gadgets. This project aims to make airless tires for bikes and scooters using ...
