Nitinol, a metal that takes its form

The nitinol is an alloy composed of nickel and titanium, it has the super property to keep in memory its form and to find during extreme thermal contact, for example, water hot.

Well, watch the following video while human distorts this trombone and he then dives into the bowl of warm water.

You guessed it, the trombone resumes its original form... simply spectacular!

When car body panels made with this material? Imagine you all... your car is dented, sprinkle the simply with warm water and the bump is a party! Magic Magic...
