Nitanol (Nickel titanium)--will return to its original shape when heated (think car bodies that would repair themselves after collisions just by applying hot water)
LIquid metals/metallic glass (stronger, lighter than steel and titanium)--one possible app is refrigerators that are powered by magnets rather than electricity)
