La-Fe-Si-based alloys represent a promising material class for magnetocaloric cooling at ambient temperatures, but contain highly oxophilic elements and are chemically sensitive, which impairs their continued operation in aqueous heat exchange media.

International research team publishes universal framework in the journal Science

Novel materials are the key for our transition to a more sustainable economy.

Powerful magnets can be used for effective cooling, heat and power generation.

Bonded permanent magnets are key components in many energy conversion, sensor and actuator devices.

We congratulate our colleague Kilian Schäfer to the Best Poster Award at MSE 2022.

Researchers use multicomponent alloys to make strong and ductile soft magnetic materials. Latest results now published in the journal Nature

Soft magnetic materials (SMMs) applied in electric engines transform energy from sustainable resources into electricity. Conventional SMMs, which are currently used in industry, are prone to damage under severe mechanical loads.
