New metal material could enable shape-shifting aircraft wings that adapt mid-flight
A team of researchers at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA) has created a nature-inspired active metal ...
Alloys that can return to their original structure after being deformed have a so-called shape memory. This phenomenon and the resulting forces are used in many mechanical actuating systems, for ...
image: MIT engineers created shape-memory materials made of ceramic rather than of traditional metal. The development opens a new range of applications, especially for actuators in high-temperature ...
For the first time, ETH Zurich investigators attained a shape memory effect with objects as small as a few nanometers. This technology can be used to create nanoscale machinery and robotic devices.
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shape Memory Medical Inc., developer of custom shape memory polymers for endovascular markets, announced the first patient treated as part of the AAA-SHAPE Pivotal ...
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shape Memory Medical Inc., developer of shape memory polymer devices for peripheral and neurovascular markets, announced today that its 1,500 th patient has been ...
Shape-memory metals, which can revert from one shape to a different one simply by being warmed or otherwise triggered, have been useful in a variety of applications, as actuators that can control the ...
