NASA's Shape Memory Materials Open Doors for Smart Tech

Shape memory alloy (SMA) is a functional metal with unique properties that allow it to be trained to move on its own. SMAs can go through solid-state phase transformations, meaning they can be stretched, bent, heated, and cooled and still remember its original shape. This quality introduces opportunities for a variety of applications. The following are a few examples of NASA shape memory materials technologies that are ready to be licensed.
