After solving several challenges, Embolization Inc. sees a promising future for shape memory polymers in other medical ...

By developing functionally graded shape memory alloys, a team of UK researchers are hoping to modify these properties at different points in the material. In this way the material could change its ...

Shape memory alloys, or SMAs, possess the ability to return to their original shape after being severely deformed, either spontaneously or following the application of heat. This makes them useful ...

In this video excerpt from NOVA's "Making Stuff: Smarter", host and New York Times technology columnist David Pogue visits Virginia Tech, where scientists are developing an artificial jellyfish ...

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) provide new insights in biomedical engineering with the unique properties they exhibit, in applications such as cardiovascular stents, guide wires and organ frame retractors ...

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 ...

Questions such as, what are shape memory alloys, how do they work, how much deformation can they recover from, what metals exhibit shape memory properties and what applications do shape memory alloys ...

Shape-memory alloys might help airplanes land without a peep S-shaped, shape-memory alloy filler in wings can reduce aircraft noise Date: July 12, 2021 Source: Texas A&M University Summary: Having ...

In addition to two different shape memory alloy configurations, the study looks at a more conventional fiberglass composite, although this would only work for a limited number of wing configurations.
