GREENE, short for SINGLE-GRAIN RE-ENGINEERED ND-FE-B PERMANENT MAGNETS, is an EU-funded project focused on pioneering advancements in high-performance permanent magnets, re-engineering their microstructure to make them more powerful while at the same time reducing Rare Earth (RE) content. Led by the Slovenian Jožef Stefan Institute, our consortium of 15 European partners is tackling the environmental and supply challenges associated with these crucial components of high-tech products that power a green energy future, such as e-vehicles and wind turbines.

What do little tornados do in magnets? Read the whole paper: Oscillating topological charge for skyrmion-based spin-transfer torque nano-oscillator Usually, when we talk about our research at GREENE, we mention how we want to make magnets more stable, more coercive and more resilient to demagnetization. However, magnetic materials research is
Ultra-high-grade neodymium‑iron‑boron (Nd-Fe-B) magnets are essential components of clean energy technologies, including electric vehicles and wind turbines. However, they often contain dysprosium (Dy), a heavy rare earth whose extraction poses environmental, social and supply risks. Dysprosium is often used in high-performance magnets because of its ability to maintain their magnetic
