Shape memory alloys are metals that return to their original shape after deformation. These materials have been used in various applications for decades, but applying them to tires is a new and ...

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 ...

Small pieces of the alloy were put through 10 million "shape memory" cycles Engineers have produced an alloy that springs back into shape even after it is bent more than 10 million times. "Memory ...

Engineers have produced an alloy that springs back into shape even after it is bent more than 10 million times. "Memory shape alloys" like this have many potential uses, but present incarnations are ...
