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 ...
Shape memory alloys are exotic materials that can be deformed at room temperature and return to their "remembered," ...
Engineers are closing in on a long imagined goal in aviation, wings that can subtly change shape in midair instead of relying ...
A team of researchers at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA) has created a nature-inspired active metal ...
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 ...
This Collection welcomes original research on shape memory alloys, with a focus on their synthesis, structural and functional characterisation, and emerging applications. Shape memory alloys (SMAs) ...
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 ...
The elastocaloric effect is a phenomenon where a material displays a temperature change when it is exposed to a mechanical stress. The change in temperature occurs due to an entropy difference ...
The next Mars rovers may traverse the Red Planet with futuristic tires. NASA's Glenn Research Center released imagery and footage from testing of a novel tire, called a shape memory alloy spring tire, ...
