Reversible phase transformation of ceramic materials (VIDEO)

University of Minnesota

Caption

This video shows a sample of ceramic material that transforms back and forth between the phases, much like a shape memory material. The mathematical conditions under which reversible transformation occurs can be applied widely and provide a way forward toward the paradoxical shape-memory ceramic.
