Nanomagnetism Research Group - Northeastern University

Pegah Hosseinpour’s research on the incorporation of iron into titanium nanotubes was featured in the Northeastern University research blog and on the American Physical Society webpage.
Prof. Dr. Sc. Nguyen Hoang Luong, Vice Rector, Hanoi University of Science, is visiting the Nanomagnetism Research Group in May 2012. Prof. Luong is interested in education in nanotechnology, particularly nanomagnetism and nanomedicine.
Congratulations to Nina Bordeaux for successfully defending her Ph.D. proposal in April 2012.
“While Rare-Earth Trade Dispute Heats Up, Scientists Seek Alternatives” . Dr. Laura Lewis was quoted in a National Geographic article on the development of Rare-Earth-Free Permanent Magnets funded by the Department of Energy ARPA-E program.
Dr. Lewis has been awarded a Department of Energy ARPA-E Grant to work on 'Multiscale Development of L10 Materials for Rare-Earth-Free Permanent Magnets'. This Rare-Earth-Free Permanent Magnets work will be done in conjuction with researchers from Columbia University, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, University of Nebraska at Lincoln, General Motors, and Arnold Magnetics Technologies Corporation.
“Magnetic Breakthrough May Have Significant Pull” - Don Heiman’s group has designed a super strong magnet without using rare-earth elements.
