Researchers from the University of Cambridge have discovered a new way to create a possible replacement for rare earth magnets.<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
In collaboration with colleagues from Austria, University of Cambridge researchers have found that tetrataenite, a \u2018cosmic magnet\u2019 that takes millions of years to develop naturally in meteorites, can potentially be used instead of rare earth magnets.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Previously, attempts to make tetrataenite in the laboratory have depended on extreme and impractical methods, but this is set to change with the researcher\u2019s use of the common element phosphorus. By using phosphorus, there is a possibility to produce tetrataenite artificially and at scale, without any specialised treatment or expensive techniques.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
