A new magnet that conserves resources
2023/07/05
Athene Young Investigator Pelin Tozman is carrying out research into alternative components
Permanent magnets are one of the key elements of climate neutral technologies. They are important components of e.g. wind turbines or electric motors. However, rare earth elements are needed for their production and the degradation of these materials is becoming more and more problematic due to the growth in the green energy market. Dr. Pelin Tozman, a new Athene Young Investigator at TU Darmstadt, is conducting research into a new generation of permanent magnets that will have more affordable components, use fewer resources and which can also be made safer and more efficient thanks to the use of artificial intelligence.
