Fort Wayne Metals on Thursday announced it is working with NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland to advance shape memory alloy material technology for innovative rover tires that could support the ...

Engineers have created shape-memory materials made of ceramic rather than of traditional metal. The development opens a new range of applications, especially for actuators in high-temperature settings ...

NASA is working on shape memory alloy tires for future missions to Mars, figuring out ways to give rovers and more an airless, shapeshifting wheel. While NASA's Perseverance rover is headed off to ...

A car made out of shape memory alloys could slide into a fender bender and then smooth itself back to showroom condition. Auto manufacturers do not use these "memory metals" because the materials are ...

Scientists captured live action details of the phase transitions of shape memory alloys, giving them a better idea how to improve their properties for applications. Known to many as muscle wire or ...

With advanced manufacturing tools, the team of materials science and engineering Associate Professor Hang Yu has created a ...

Shape-memory metals, which can revert from one shape to a different one simply by being warmed or otherwise triggered, have been useful in a variety of applications, as actuators that can control the ...
