In fact, the only thing needed to make them is iron and nitrogen, plus an understanding of crystal structure and some engineering ingenuity. To start things off, what even is a permanent magnet?

Scientists have detected unexpected activity in the high Arctic as the magnetic North Pole heads towards Russia in a way that ...

Scientists tracking Earth's magnetic pole have recently spotted it heading toward Siberia. Where it will end up, no one knows ...

Scientists have developed the world's strongest iron-based superconducting magnet using AI, in what could be a breakthrough for affordable MRI machines and the future of electrified transport.

In 1982, two researchers working independently of each other developed the neodymium–iron–boron magnet, which was stronger than any known magnet. It revolutionized the low-cost mass production ...

Iron particles effectively act as tiny magnets that can record both magnetic field strength and direction when the process of crystallization locks them in place. The researchers found that rocks ...

Metals are the only substances that are magnetic. But some metals are magnetic and some are not. The most common magnetic metal is iron. You don't see too many objects made of pure iron but you do see ...

Neodymium-iron-boron is the strongest permanent magnet material in wide-scale use today Name a technology that is all around us, underpins our modern way of living but is hardly recognised for its ...
