Microscopic mix strengthens magnet Magnets are usually an either-or proposition. They either generate a strong magnetic field or they hold up well in the presence of external magnetic fields. A method that mixes the two types of magnets at the nanoscale could pave the way for smaller electric motors and generators. |
