Hey, did you catch that lecture today? Weirdest stuff ever – shape memory alloys. |
|
|
Oh yeah, that was fascinating! I never knew metals could remember shapes. |
|
|
Me too! It is interesting that atoms can arrange themselves like humans, sitting in a row or diagonal – I mean, phase changes. Unbelievable! |
|
|
And did you see the video with the metal wire? Wrapping it around the finger, heating it, and straight line again!. |
|
|
Totally! I mean, metals don't usually do that. |
|
|
Yeah, it is coordinated motion at the atomic level. It's like a science fiction movie but real. |
|
|
And did you hear where they use these shape memory alloys? Mars! They're in the Mars rover, moving its panels. |
|
|
That's amazing. I had no idea. And on Earth, they're in braces and even in bras! |
|
|
Seriously? Bras? |
|
|
Yeah, for an ideal fit each time. Toss it in the dryer, and it bounces back to its original state. |
|
|
Wow, science teaches us cool stuff. Tiny atomic moves can really change the world! |
