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:
