This alloy has a mass density of only 4.36 grams per cubic centimetre, which is more than 30% lighter than nitinol alloys 4 (Fig. 1). Impressively, the innovative alloy can also withstand a stress ...

German researchers are pioneering elastocaloric cooling, a process using shape memory alloys to heat and cool without ...

At the same time, since precipitates are generally considered nontransformable, do they reduce the overall recovery capability of the alloy? In most heat-treated conditions of superelastic nitinol in ...

A novel type of air conditioning technology that can cool and heat more sustainably and more economically than current ...

Besides temperature, they also have to withstand intense solar radiation and the risk of catastrophic deflation. Hence, the Superelastic Tire incorporated nitinol shape-memory alloy into the design to ...

Ming Wu, the retired Edwards Lifesciences SVP of engineering who recently shared his nitinol expertise in an MDO webinar, has ...

Duodenal mucosal resurfacing offers an innovative, minimally invasive approach to managing type 2 diabetes and metabolic ...

Nitinol is a nearly equiatomic metal alloy of nickel and titanium with unique properties, including superelasticity (also called pseudoelasticity) and shape memory. Superelasticity or pseudoelasticity ...

Renal denervation offers a potentially transformative and minimally invasive option for treating hypertension. With this ...
