One of the most pervasive and mysterious phenomena in the universe is magnetism. As the scientist knows it, magnetism is the invisible pull that surrounds magnets, electric currents and even the ...

Rare earth elements (REEs) are indispensable for European industries, particularly for the production of permanent magnets utilised in wind turbines and electric mobility. Wind energy represents one ...

Creating strong permanent magnets without using so-called rare earth elements is an ongoing topic of research. An interesting contestant here are iron nitride magnets (α”-Fe 16 N 2), which have the ...

Physicists have made an ultra-powerful magnet that fits in the palm of a hand 1. Magnets are essential for studying molecular structures using a technique called nuclear magnetic resonance. But ...
