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," pre-deformed shape when heated. They are used in a broad range of applications, such ...

SEOUL, South Korea—On-demand snow tires. Why not? That's the driving concept behind Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Corp.'s latest patent-pending tire design, which relies on shape memory alloy modules ...

From glass to shape memory alloys, scientists are uncovering the hidden rules that govern how materials bend, deform, and return to shape. New breakthroughs show that even disordered materials like ...

This atomistic model showing the coexistence of two solid phases of NiTi: austenite (blue), stable at higher temperatures, and martensite (brown), stable at lower temperatures. The martensite region ...
