COLLEGE STATION, Texas, May 29 (TNSres) -- Texas A&M University's College of Engineering issued the following news:
Endowed with the power of memory, certain alloys can magically return to their original shape when heated or deformed. However, the repeated back-and-forth between the original and new configuration may leave permanent imprints on the alloy's microscopic features, which could then impact its ability to reversibly transform shape. Thus, unraveling the impa . . .
