Using AI, Scientists Create Magnets from Soil

MILAN – Our modern world is very dependent on magnet, and powerful permanent magnets are critical components in devices ranging from wind turbines to computer hard drives.

However, the extraction of the rare earth elements needed to make these magnets often has significant environmental impacts.

As reported by IFL Science, scientists have long been looking for a more environmentally friendly alternative, and now, thanks to advances in artificial intelligence (AI), a promising solution has emerged.

MagNex, a revolutionary permanent magnet free from rare earth elements, has been developed by the company Materials Nexus in collaboration with researchers at the Henry Royce Institute and the University of Sheffield.

Prof. Iain Todd FREng, Professor of Metallurgy and Materials Processing at the University of Sheffield, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration: “We are very pleased that our first interactions with Materials Nexus have produced such positive results.”

MagNex has the potential to be a much more sustainable and cost-effective solution to our permanent magnet needs. This development paves the way for a variety of new and innovative applications in various sectors, and heralds a new era in the production of more environmentally friendly materials.

It’s important to note that MagNex is still in the early stages of development, and much research is still needed to thoroughly test its performance and ensure its scalability.

However, this discovery is a significant step forward and shows the incredible potential of AI in advancing materials science and creating a more sustainable future.
