4D Printing?

Objects that remember their shape at a specific temperature - useful for space travel, medicine (imagine a drug capsule that opens when the patient starts to develop a fever), and all kinds of things.

MIT has now developed such "memory-shape" objects with a response time measured in seconds - much faster than earlier experiments. I can think of a few uses. Can you?
