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 impact of the . . .
