Researchers Discover Super-Elastic Shape-Memory Material
UConn materials science and engineering researcher Seok-Woo Lee and his colleagues have discovered super-elastic shape-memory properties in a material that could be applied for use as an actuator in the harshest of conditions, such as outer space, and might be the first in a whole new class of shape-memory materials. If you have ever had […]
Living on the Edge Not for All Species
A new study finds that as tropical forests become increasingly fragmented, some species are at an ever-increasing risk for extinction, especially those that depend on the forest core.
