TS-070382 — The Need Current methods for joining metal components in space environments are often complex, energy-intensive, and can compromise the integrity of the materials due to heat-affected zones. There is a need for a reliable, low-power, and safe solution that can create strong metal bonds without causi…

TS-045092 — Shape memory alloys are metals that "remember" their original shape when deformed and can return to their initial shape when heated. These shape memory alloys cannot currently be welded to other alloys, which significantly limits their use. Current state-of-the-art methods of joining sha…
