Metal That Remembers and Returns to The Original Shape

Everybody knows that a piece of metal, once bent, is impossible to be reverted to its original state. But, a recent study revealed that, when heat is added to bent metal films having the right microstructure, the films return to their original shapes. The higher the temperature, the sooner the metal films revert. "I...
