What is memory metal?

Nitinol, a nickel titanium alloy. The name stands for Nickel Titanium-Naval Ordnance Laboratory. Developed in 1959 as a more heat and impact resistant material for ICBM nosecones, it was discovered to exhibit the shape memory effect by accident laboratory management meeting in 1961. But practical use of nitinol's shape memory did not happen until the 1990s due to difficulties in processing. The shape memory effect in general dates back to 1932, when Swedish chemist Arne Ölander first observed it in gold cadmium alloys. The shape memory effect was also observed in brass in the early 1950s.

What initial occurrence causes dendritic spines to change shape and how do they change shape and how does this change relate to or yield memory?

Dendritic spines change shape due to an excess expression of acidic calponin in hippocampal nuerons. This causes the dendritic spines to enlongate or even shrink to the point of no longer there. It is thought that dendritic spine changes effect memory. It is hypothesized that actin cytoskeleton is responsible for the process of dentritic spines to begin changing shape.


What are the 2 copper based SMAs?

The two copper-based shape memory alloys are copper-aluminum-nickel (Cu-Al-Ni) and copper-zinc-aluminum (Cu-Zn-Al). These alloys exhibit shape memory effect and superelasticity due to their unique crystal structure and phase transformation properties.

How does memory metal work?

A shape memory alloy (SMA, smart metal, memory alloy, muscle wire, smart alloy) is an alloy that "remembers" its original, cold, forged shape, and which returns to that shape after being deformed by applying heat. This material is a lightweight, solid state alternative to conventional actuators such as hydraulic, pneumatic, and motor-based systems. Shape memory alloys have applications in industries including medical and aerospace.
