Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.
Magnetic Acceleration Generating New Innovations and Tactical Outcomes (MAGNITO) New

10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
The objective of the Magnetic Acceleration Generating New Innovations and Tactical Outcomes (MAGNITO) program is to support the discovery, synthesis, and characterization of new, more powerful magnets with either a saturation magnetization or maximum energy product higher than that of any known material. This entails finding entirely new physics, chemistries, and structure for ultra-powerful soft and/or hard magnets. The discovery of Nd2Fe14B, with its complex structural chemistry and extraordinary properties, suggests that other complex magnetic materials with three or more distinct elements, and similar chemical and structural features, are waiting to be discovered.
Recent technological advances have the potential to dramatically accelerate new magnet discovery. The MAGNITO program is not broken down into specific technical categories; rather, ARPA-E is interested in applications that explore the integration of many or most of these advances into one project. Some of the major advances (or ‘technical areas’) of interest include the following:
The emergence of AI/ML
Recent advances in computational physics
Advances in correlated electron theory
Promising chemistries
New high-throughput materials fabrication technologies
