In order to address the challenges in fabrication NiTiNb ternary alloy structures, researchers from Shandong University (SDU) have proposed an alloy design strategy to prepare NiTiNb shape memory ...

Many bridges in Switzerland were built before the 1980s – and are therefore approaching the end of their service life. Empa researchers are now ...

Aircraft designers have long pursued wings that can adapt to changing flight conditions. Fixed surfaces are always a compromise: a wing shape optimized for takeoff is rarely ideal for cruise, and one ...

Strong, lightweight, superelastic, and able to function across a range of temperatures, this newly developed alloy could be a game-changer for space exploration and medical technology. Researchers at ...
