NASA engineers created wheels made from nickel-titanium shape memory alloys that deform under pressure and snap back without ...

One of the easiest and most effective ways to have really productive days is to get a good night's sleep. Still, a lot of people have trouble getting good sleep. If you wake up with stiff muscles, a ...

The global Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) market is on the brink of a remarkable expansion, projected to surge from an estimated USD 22.5 billion in 2025 to an impressive USD 76.5 billion by 2035, ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the input coupling problem in a shape memory alloy (SMA) actuated parallel platform characterized by fully unknown nonlinear dynamics. In such a platform, the ...

A team of engineers at RMIT University has developed a groundbreaking 3D-printed titanium alloy that s stronger, more ductile, and nearly 30% cheaper to produce than the traditional standard. By ...

After journalist Neil King Jr.’s walk through York County, he wrote about a “memory boom” sounding within its 900-plus square miles. That thunder should be heard beyond its borders, he wrote in his ...

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 ...

A recent study in Nature Communications presents a new class of shape memory polymer (SMP) surfaces embedded with nanotips. These surfaces feature tunable nanoscale roughness, enabling adjustable dry ...
