Scientists develop new magnetizable shape memory alloy with low energy loss, even at low temperatures
Shape memory alloys (SMA) remember their original shape and return to it after being heated. Similar to how a liquid transforms into a gas when boiled, SMAs undergo a phase transformation when heated or cooled. The phase ...
