"it seems clear that the nitinol story has just begun"

Lol that's why nobody today hears about it

It's a conscious metal. All metals are conscious to some degree; this is how they maintain or "remember" their shape. There was one experimenter who discovered how to "knock" metals "unconscious" and make them instantly sublimate. Of course that information is hard/impossible to find.

"super nitinol"

Ooooo!

"There is another type of SMA, called a ferromagnetic shape-memory alloy (FSMA), that changes shape under strong magnetic fields. These materials are of particular interest as the magnetic response tends to be faster and more efficient than temperature-induced responses."

Martensite is ferromagnetic
