New Material with Magnetic Shape-Memory
Researchers from the Mesoscopic Systems and the Soft and Living Materials groups in D-MATL and at the Paul Scherrer Institute have combined forces to develop a new material that is able to retain a given shape as soon as it is placed into a magnetic field. Unlike previous shape memory materials, this material’s memory can be switched on and off at constant temperature.
