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 ...

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 ...

Shape memory materials, also known as "metal muscles" or "artificial muscles," have the ability to snap back into their original shape after being stretched, squashed, bent, or otherwise deformed. If ...

Scientists captured live action details of the phase transitions of shape memory alloys, giving them a better idea how to improve their properties for applications. Known to many as muscle wire or ...

A team of researchers from the University of Maryland (US) and Kiel University (Germany) have produced a metal alloy that can be deformed and heated 10 million times before failure. Share on Facebook ...

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 ...

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 ...
