#DidYouKnow: #ShapeMemory is the ability of a material to be deformed and then return to its original shape when exposed to a stimulus. This ability is called the shape memory effect (SME).

A shape-memory alloy is an alloy that can be deformed when cold but returns to its original shape when heated. It is also known as memory metal, memory alloy, smart metal, smart alloy, and muscle wire.
