How Shape-Memory Materials RememberWashington DC (SPX) Apr 27, 2010 X-ray studies and fundamental calculations are helping physicists gain molecular level insight into the workings of some magnetic shape-memory materials, which change shape under the influence magnetic fields. Shape-memory materials could potentially serve as light weight, compact alternatives to conventional motors and actuators. But developing practical devices will require creating materials that exhibit much larger changes in shape than most of the known shape-memory materials. A paper appeari ... read more |
