Working
Shape memory alloys (SMAs), such as Nitinol (a nickel-titanium alloy), can be deformed at one temperature and will return to their original, pre-set shape when heated above a transition temperature. In robotics, thin wires of such alloys are used as "muscle wires": passing an electric current heats the wire, causing it to contrac …
