Magnetic materials play an important role for energy-efficient energy conversions in the energy mix of future technologies, be it in future cooling and air conditioning concepts, be it in electrical machines (generators in wind and hydroelectric power plants, electricmotors in vehicles or robots) or in information processing.

From the perspective of the DFG funded CRC/TRR270 “HoMMAge” we provide insights into the research steps required NOW for the sustainable and energy-efficient use of magnet technologies that are easy to understand, even for non-experts. We address magnetic refrigeration and the criticality of the rare-earth elements.

Here is our DFG magazine forschung (3/24) article “Magnete für die Energiewende” (opens in new tab) in German by O. Gutfleisch and M. Farle
and an AI generated podcast “Magnets for the Energy Transition” in English out of the article.
