The word "nitinol" is derived from its composition and its place of discovery: (Nickel Titanium-Naval Ordnance Laboratory). William J. Buehler[1] along with Frederick Wang,[2] discovered its properties during research at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory in 1959.[3][4] Buehler was attempting to make a better missile nose cone, which could resist fatigue, heat and the force of impact. Having found that a 1:1 alloy of nickel and titanium could do the job, in 1961 he presented a sample at a laboratory management meeting. The sample, folded up like an accordion, was passed around and flexed by the participants. One of them applied heat from his pipe lighter to the sample and, to everyone's surprise, the accordion-shaped strip contracted and took its previous shape.[5]
A girl searching for a void
- she/they/it
I try to do research and sometimes publish it. (do not look for it my writing is terrible and boring)
I like sharks, I am also a shark.
I work on robots but honestly they are constantly trying to kill me so I would say they work me.
Trans as fuck, gender is a fuck.
I like embedded computer stuff, I also like it more when people put computers in things they shouldn't (art, not IoT).
I also try to make music but I'm too frightened to share it...or finish it.
I am always searching for community and friends, please say hi or tell me about something or someone cool you really like!
