Sometimes called the Smart Alloy, Muscle Wire or Memory Metal, is an alloy that "remembers" it shape. You can reshape the wire, but when heated it returns to the preset shape. Ever wonder how someone bends a spoon with their mind? Same metal.

  • Sweet.

    If they make cars of this stuff, accidents wouldn't be a hassle anymore ........ although bodyshops wouldn't be too happy.

    • That is true

      Since the spring cost 10$ I think the car would be a little pricey

      I have seen eyeglasses made from this material. If they are stepped on and bent you can simly return them to there origional shape.
