NASA has reinvented the tire. These rover tires are made from a nickel-titanium alloy. A material that can be deformed and return back to shape. The super-elastic material allows it to “remember ...

The alloy used to put these tires together is a nickel-titanium mix, and the design, imagined by NASA with help from Goodyear Tire & Rubber, was put through its paces last fall at the Airbus Mars ...

The tires performed admirably thanks to the fact that they are made from a nickel-titanium alloy which, as NASA materials research engineer Santo Padula explains in the following video ...

Future tires made from materials like Nitinol, a nickel-titanium alloy, could offer the elasticity and resilience needed to withstand the rigors of space while maintaining their shape. Despite the ...

Any vehicle traversing the rocky terrain on Mars needs a sturdy set of wheels. NASA’s Perseverance rover, for example, sports thick aluminum ones covered in cleats to enhance its traction and mobility ...
