Since his postdoctoral days at MIT, Hang Yu, associate professor of materials science and engineering, has been wrestling ...

Shape-memory metals, which can revert from one shape to a different one simply by being warmed or otherwise triggered, have been useful in a variety of applications, as actuators that can control the ...

Dublin, Dec. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "The Global Shape Memory Materials Market 2026-2036" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The Global Shape Memory Materials Market ...

The Chalmers researchers used a novel, atomically thin material in tiny memory devices, here seen as clusters of golden dots on the top of the chip. The material combines two opposing magnetic forces ...

Researchers at EPFL have discovered a material that seems to be able to “remember” all of its past encounters with stimuli, such as electrical currents. The compound could come in handy for better ...

Twisted graphene stores memory by combining strain-induced hysteresis and nonlinear response, enabling reprogrammable, low power memory in a pure carbon system. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Electronic memory ...

Every industrial material has a moment of creation. Steel is poured during the heat stage. Plastics are blended as resin. Fibers are extruded. Metals are refined and purified. These are controlled, ...

Engineers have created shape-memory materials made of ceramic rather than of traditional metal. The development opens a new range of applications, especially for actuators in high-temperature settings ...
