An advanced tire technology developed by NASA for use on planetary rovers could be coming to a bike lane near you, with startup the Smart Tire Company leveraging the technology to introduce an airless ...

Another Kickstarter, another opportunity for people to get mad at delayed and poorly functioning (if delivered at all) gadgets. This project aims to make airless tires for bikes and scooters using ...

Researchers have developed a novel copper-based alloy that exhibits a special shape memory effect at temperatures as low as -200°C. The work has been published in the journal Communications ...

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The shape memory alloy market is expected to grow by USD1.63 billion during 2020-2024, according to the latest market research report by Technavio. Request a free sample ...

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 ...

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are unique materials that exhibit shape memory behavior, which is exemplified by the ability recover large deformations due to changes in external loading conditions, ...

Known to many as muscle wire or memory metal, shape memory alloys are materials that can be bent or deformed, and then return to their original shape when heat is applied. While people are most ...

The secret to how steel hardens and shape-memory alloys snap into place lies in rapid, atomic-scale shifts that scientists have struggled to observe in materials. Now, Cornell researchers are ...
