Smart light from Japan

Nendo, a Japanese product design company, has invented a new lamp called Hanabi. Hanabi in Japanese means fire flower. When the lights are turned on, the heat of the bulb makes this shape-memory alloy spread open as if it is a flower and reveals the light. Alloys.

Shape memory alloys are materials that have memory effect or materials that can remember their original shape and geometry. These materials, at a particular temperature, can come back to their original shape even after they are strained or deformed.
