A low-fatigue shape-memory alloy that can handle ten million cycles.
I can think of lots of applications for that. I wonder if it can be printed?

The concept is not new, and the advance is not as great as the BBC is claiming. The US Naval Ordinance Lab has been playing with this stuff for decades. I first bought NiTiNOL springs 18 years ago. They were rated at one million cycles each.
