Nitinol is a shape memory alloy which has a cool property that causes it to retain (and return to) a preset shape when heat (or electricity!) is applied. It’s actually quite simple — he’s ...

Nitinol has superelastic properties that allow medical devices using it to compress to a lower profile when placed in a ...

When scientists at NASA Glenn Research Center designed a tire for large-scale vehicles that can withstand extreme ...

Kidney stones affect millions of people worldwide, causing severe discomfort and potential complications. Innovative removal ...

Nitinol is a kind of wire that has a memory. If you heat it, it tries to return to the shape it remembers. [Latheman666] recently posted a video (see below) of a Nitinol engine that uses a ...

A recent study in Scientific Reports explored how volume energy density (VED) during laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) affects the microstructure and corrosion resistance of NiTi alloys (Nitinol).

MAGENTA’s core consists of a spring made of nitinol, a shape-memory alloy that shortens when heated to a specific temperature. The metal is encased in a rectangular box made of flexible plastic, which ...

The device is fabricated by NiTi alloy wire 3D weaving technology, which can be manually rotated and stretched, and the length/diameter ratio is controlled between 2.6 and 14.0, providing ...
