The evolution of the internal microstructure of a nickel-titanium sample is measured while it is mechanically tested. The colors correspond to crystallographic orientation

Visualizing shape memory alloys in real-time

Using the most powerful 3D microscopes available today, researchers associated with the Colorado School of Mines successfully imaged the interior microstructure of shape memory alloys in three major experiments, shedding new light on this underutilized material.
