A new method for creating permanent magnets without rare earth components has been created in Novosibirsk. It allows the production of materials with high resistance to demagnetization.
Permanent magnets are materials that always have a magnetic field and do not require electricity to operate. They are important for technologies such as electronics and space development. They are usually made of rare earth metals, such as neodymium.
In their work, scientists from the "Siberian Ring Source of Photons" (СКИФ) center used the mineral ludwigite, which contains magnesium, iron, and boron. Experts changed the structure of this mineral and found that the temperature at which the magnetic properties change increased by 70 degrees. This means that new magnets can retain their properties even at room temperature.
