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 ...

Laser powder bed fusion, a 3D-printing technique, offers potential in the manufacturing industry, particularly when fabricating nickel-titanium shape memory alloys with complex geometries. Although ...

As air traffic is projected to increase dramatically over the next decade, reducing noise pollution becomes an even more necessary and demanding challenge. Decades of research have been dedicated to ...

Iron-based shape memory alloys (Fe-SMAs) are emerging as multifunctional materials for the repair, strengthening and life-extension of civil infrastructure. Exploiting the shape memory effect and ...

In the early 1960s, scientists discovered Nitinol, a nickel-titanium alloy with a shape memory effect. This remarkable material can be bent or deformed when cool but returns to its original shape when ...
