Drawing on powerful computational tools and a state-of-the-art scanning transmission electron microscope, materials science and engineering researchers have discovered a new nanometer-scale atomic ...

Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious ...

The diagram shows a simple model of metallic structure. The metal ions are shown as tiny spheres, packed closely together in a regular pattern.

Permanent magnets sit at the heart of the green economy, from wind turbines and electric vehicles to smartphones and industrial robots. For decades, the strongest versions have depended on rare-earth ...
