They use this metal in orthodontia too. The wires for braces are made out of this. They are “programmed” as the parabolic shape that the orthodontist wants, then bent and tied into the braces. The heat of the mouth (aka your body heat) makes the wire “want” to return to its original shape, thereby pulling your teeth into the proper position! I was amazed when my orthodontist showed me this, it was super cool to see as a kid.

21:34 shots like this really communicate science fantastically. "put your full body weight on it" you can see Derek physically interacting with the thing and playing with it like any student might

I vividly remember in my gen chem lab class at uni we had an experiment where we messed around with Nitinol and I was completely in shock and awe with how it was behaving. I want to say that day was the moment I fell in love with material science and now love learning and researching about polymers as a chemist!
