A recent post on WIRED science contains a few cool links about nitinol, or memory metal. This is a nickel titanium blend that has the capability of returning to its original configuration no matter how bent or twisted it becomes. The science has been described elsewhere and this is not exactly a new invention, but I find it awesome because it’s pretty much only a matter of time before we are able to create the T-1000 from terminator with this technology.
Amazing! Never heard of this stuff. Will be Wikipedaing it.
