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 ...
Shape memory alloys (SMA) remember their original shape and return to it after being heated. Similar to how a liquid transforms into a gas when boiled, SMAs undergo a phase transformation when heated ...
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) ...
