Shape memory alloys are exotic materials that can be deformed at room temperature and return to their "remembered," ...

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are a remarkable class of stimuli‐responsive materials capable of undergoing substantial deformation and subsequently recovering their original shape when exposed to ...

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 ...

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shape Memory Medical Inc., developer of custom shape memory polymers for endovascular markets, announced today that it has completed $38 million in Series C ...

With 4D printing, the objects can change shape or properties using external stimuli such as temperature, light, pH, magnetic field, electricity, and moisture. Additionally, the changes in shape or ...

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 ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shape Memory Medical Inc., innovator of shape memory polymer for endovascular applications, today announced that its proprietary platform has been used to treat its ...

For the first time, ETH Zurich investigators attained a shape memory effect with objects as small as a few nanometers. This technology can be used to create nanoscale machinery and robotic devices.
