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 ...

Iron-based shape memory alloys (Fe-SMAs) are emerging as multifunctional materials for the repair, strengthening and life-extension of civil infrastructure. Exploiting the shape memory effect and ...

Researchers have significantly improved a new joining technology, interlocking metasurfaces (ILMs), designed to increase the strength and stability of a structure in comparison to traditional ...

Abstract: The return of commercial supersonic flight requires innovative solutions to be developed that meet noise and efficiency requirements for overland flight. To study such a possibility NASA is ...
