His quest was to create a powerful magnet without rare earth elements. The result was the world’s first iron nitride magnet, a revolutionary technology forged from iron and nitrogen. With China ...

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Niron Magnetics, the company pioneering the world’s first high-performance, rare-earth-free Iron Nitride permanent magnets, was named the Innovation of the Year at ...

There, Professor Jian-Ping Wang's research laid the foundation for what later became Niron Magnetics, which produces potent iron nitride magnets that the company is preparing to scale up and could ...

Niron’s Clean Earth iron nitride permanent magnets peg the meter at 2.4 teslas. Niron Clean Earth magnets are also said to lose less magnetism over the typical operating temperature range than ...

What has made Niron’s magnet technology attractive to investors is that they’re made from iron nitride, which is derived from readily available iron oxide (also known as rust). Currently ...

Researchers studied ancient iron-oxidizing bacteria to understand their role in Earth's early iron formations. The study found that nitrate-reducing bacteria produced toxic nitrogen monoxide, ...

Niron's rare earth-free permanent magnet alternative is comprised of an iron nitride compound that not only avoids these bottlenecks but has higher magnetic field density, allowing for smaller and ...

Niron Magnetics is building a large-scale manufacturing facility to produce iron nitride, a magnetic material derived from common elements, while also working to improve the material’s ...

Influx of nitrogen-rich material from the outer Solar System indicated by iron nitride in Ryugu samples. Nature Astronomy , 2023; DOI: 10.1038/s41550-023-02137-z Cite This Page : ...

What’s the attraction? It’s Niron’s permanent magnet technology, which uses iron nitride derived from rust as an alternative to rare-earth elements. Permanent magnets are used in automobiles ...

Nearly 40 years ago, General Motors invented the rare-earth magnet and thus laid the foundation for modern electric motors. But now the automaker is moving on to a different technology. GM ...
