- howdy!

- this is from memory, but......i beleive that there is a material
- called mu-metal which acts as an insulator from magnetic fields.
- also, a lot of the amorphous metals (aka metglass) are used for
- magnetic shielding. if you need more, e-mail me and i'll try
- and dig up my old info on these materials.
-
- on another note....is there any new work being done on shape-memory
- alloys? i did a paper on this a few years ago, but i haven't seen
- anything new since then.
