In the race for lighter, safer and more efficient electronics—from electric vehicles to transcontinental energy grids—one ...

At first glance, few materials would seem to have less in common than metals and textiles. And yet, by manufacturing nickel-titanium alloys as a highly deformable, interwoven material, more similar to ...

NASA faced a problem rubber tires could never solve - extreme temperatures, sharp terrain, and no air on the Moon or Mars. The solution came from a shape memory metal that bends, absorbs impact, and ...

Explore the advancements in solar technology with this video, featuring a flexible, printable perovskite coating that can turn objects into mini solar panels, a memory alloy enabling solar panels to ...

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 ...

Strong, lightweight, superelastic, and able to function across a range of temperatures, this newly developed alloy could be a game-changer for space exploration and medical technology. Researchers at ...

We’ve reported to camp in the best shape of our lives, following a normal offseason, with the goal of just showing what we can do. We just never felt right last year, and we know we’re going to get to ...
