ON THE COVER: Science and Technology of Shape-Memory Alloys: New Developments. (left) Schematic illustration of the mechanism of the shape-memory effect and superelasticity, both of which appear in the same sample depending upon the path (i.e., temperature and stress conditions). The graph represents the superelastic curve for a Cu-Al-Ni single crystal. (right) Applications of shape-memory alloys include (top right) medical stents, this one laser-cut from superelastic Ti-Ni tubing for use in the biliary tract; and (bottom right) cellular-telephone antennas, now commonly made from Ti-Ni superelastic wire. See the technical theme that begins on p. 91.
