[Steven’s] at it again with another cool science experiment that isn’t too difficult to do. This time he’s made himself a Nitinol wire inchworm, which actually moves across the table when you apply a ...

In the early 1960s, scientists discovered Nitinol, a nickel-titanium alloy with a shape memory effect. This remarkable material can be bent or deformed when cool but returns to its original shape when ...

The work was sponsored by Russian Science Foundation; the project, headed by Professor Anatolii Mokshin, is titled "Theoretical, simulating and experimental research of physico-mechanical traits of ...
