Nitinol smart wire experiment. Footage of a pulled apart sample of the 'smart wire' nitinol being placed into a beaker of hot water. This material that has the ability to 'remember' its shape. When dipped into very hot water (as here), it reverts to its original shape (see the start of clip K005/5686). This is known as the shape memory effect (SME). Nitinol is an alloy of the elements nickel and titanium. | |
