Why Permanent Magnets Matter
Permanent magnets are essential to modern nanotechnology, clean energy, electronics, and healthcare. From wind turbines and electric vehicles to advanced biomedical devices, magnets drive the transition to a sustainable future. But rare-earth dependence, environmental costs, and recycling challenges demand innovative solutions.
The SustainableNano Workshop #3 directly addresses these issues, bringing together experts to explore rare-earth-free materials, recycling strategies, and hands-on practices for greener magnet technologies.
