Nitinol, a nickel titanium alloy.
The name stands for Nickel Titanium-Naval Ordnance Laboratory. Developed in 1959 as a more heat and impact resistant material for ICBM nosecones, it was discovered to exhibit the shape memory effect by accident laboratory management meeting in 1961. But practical use of nitinol's shape memory did not happen until the 1990s due to difficulties in processing.
The shape memory effect in general dates back to 1932, when Swedish chemist Arne Ölander first observed it in gold cadmium alloys. The shape memory effect was also observed in brass in the early 1950s.

How does memory metal work?
A shape memory alloy (SMA, smart metal, memory alloy, muscle wire, smart alloy) is an alloy that "remembers" its original, cold, forged shape, and which returns to that shape after being deformed by applying heat. This material is a lightweight, solid state alternative to conventional actuators such as hydraulic, pneumatic, and motor-based systems. Shape memory alloys have applications in industries including medical and aerospace.
Why cant you save your memory on Metal Gear Solid 1 on the ps2?
You need to use a PS1 memory card to save. Make sure it's in the #1 save slot as well.

Does a metal plate in your head affect your memory?
The metal plate as such is not expected to have any influence. But to need one, you've probably had some sort of head injury. And THAT might affect your injury.
Is it okay to use box springs with a memory foam mattress?
It depends on the condition of the box spring and the design. For example, if there are metal support bars on your box spring, you will feel them through your memory foam topper.
