Material Marvels with Ainissa Ramirez - Shape Memory Alloys



Those Lego figures stuck to the boards are ones I'm trying to collect. I have the wolfman, but I need all the rest. Wonder is Ainissa would send them my way.
Ainissa actually does a great job explaining why the memory alloy switches back and forth as temperature is raised - at least at a low level of explanation - at 2:20, explaining that the material switches from monoclinic to cubic crystal structures.
