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?

A research team led by Prof. Zhang Xin from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has ...

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 ...

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that phosphorene nanoribbons (PNRs) exhibit both magnetic and ...

A permanent magnet is always magnetic. It has an invisible magnetic field. Only certain materials, such as iron, feel a magnetic force. Permanent magnets can come in lots of different shapes and ...

A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Xin from High Magnetic Field laboratory, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has revealed how magnetic properties vary in ...

Magnetotactic bacteria synthesize magnetic iron nanominerals, which function as tiny compasses that allow the microbes to navigate using Earth's geomagnetic field. Earth's iron cycle is a very ...
