Cheaper and greener magnets could soon be on the market.
A research team at the University of Minnesota’s Institute on the Environment is creating a new sustainable magnet to market to customers in the next couple of years. The project, which recently received a $10,000 prize, aims to produce magnets out of iron and nitrogen, avoiding the use of environmentally hazardous rare earth elements.
“Right now, we need sustainable and environment-friendly magnets,” said Md Mehedi, a doctoral student in the College of Science and Engineering and member of the research team.
