In the August 1985 issue of Byte, p. 42, there was an announcement for "biometal", a nickel and titanium alloy that would contract when current was passed through it. Unfortunately, when I recently tried to call the company, I found out that they are no longer exist. Has anyone else ever heard of this stuff, and/or do you know of any small-quantity sources for it? -Tom tew@n.sp.cs.cmu.edu or tew@med.pitt.edu or TEWST2@PITTVMS.BITNET
