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 ...
No wires. No actuators. Shine light on the metal surface, and it rises like a button. KAIST researchers have developed a ...
"Shine light on it, and a button rises on its own." South Korean researchers have developed a new metal structure that ...
These airless Metl tires are made from nitinol, a shape-memory alloy that ‘stretches like rubber but is strong like titanium.’ Warning: Kickstarter. These airless Metl tires are made from nitinol, a ...
NASA engineers are developing a new type of wheel using a shape-memory alloy made from nickel and titanium. Unlike traditional rubber tires, these metal wheels do not rely on air pressure and can ...
