    Years ago Nitenol was classified. It had great memory but they didn't know what to do with it. Years later they realized they could pit it in heart defects if the place was going to have to move a lot, I have one in my heart. They squeeze it in and slide it in the heart. When I first got it I recall listening in my heart there. I heard my heart going. Ching ca Ching Ca Ching. On and on. Finally the heart will grow over it and it can't be heard anymore. The thing fixed the hole in my heart. I'm 69" .

    The first time I came across nitinol was actually in an escape room where we found a wire and learned that we needed to heat it up. When we applied the heat, the wire shifted itself into words which led us to our next clue. It was extremely clever!

    You run high voltage through it and it will also bend too. I used it to make a steerable catheter for getting it to tight spots for brain aneurysms.

    Great video!! NiTi was a huge game changer in orthodontics. Shape memory and consistent light forces means fewer wire changes and light forces over stainless steel.
    Even cooler, the transition temperature of the wires can be designed so they are super flexible at room temperature and “remember” their shape at mouth temperature.

    Question - isn't titanium very difficult and expensive to procure? The ratios of the metals generally hover around half and half, so using nitinol on the scale of something like replacing the whole tire industry seems like it would demand an unsustainable degree of resource extraction.
