Magnetism and Renewable Energy: A Sustainable Combination Magnetism and renewable energy are two concepts that have become increasingly relevant in recent years due to the growing concern for the environment and the search for sustainable energy sources. A sustainable combination of these two areas can offer innovative and efficient solutions to meet the energy needs of today's society. Magnetism, as well as renewable energy, can work together to generate electricity from clean, renewable sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy. Renewable energy is energy that is obtained fro ..read more

Magnetism and nanotechnology Magnetism and nanotechnology are two fascinating fields of study that have revolutionised science and technology in recent years. The physical phenomenon known as magnetism, an intrinsic property of certain materials, and nanotechnology, the manipulation of matter on a nanometric scale, have intertwined to open up endless possibilities in different areas of application. Magnetism, with its ability to generate magnetic fields and forces, has been used for centuries in compasses and information storage devices. However, thanks to advances in nanotechnology, we can no ..read more

Magnets in Industry Magnets in industry are one of the most important components in everyday life. They are used in a wide variety of applications, from the manufacture of motors to the production of credit cards. Magnets are used in industry because of their ability to generate a magnetic field which is used for various functions: such as holding materials and separating metals. Magnets are produced in the industry by combining ferromagnetic materials such as iron, cobalt, and nickel with other materials such as aluminum and titanium. Magnets can be permanent or temporary, depending on the ap ..read more

IMA PARTICIPATES IN THE PLOOTO PROJECT We are proud to announce the participation of IMA in the consortium of the Plooto Project Plooto - Product Passport through twinning of circular value chains,funded by the Horizon 2020 program of the European Union within the call HORIZON-CL4-2022-RESILIENCE-01-01 - Circular and low emission value chains through digitalisation (Processes4Planet Partnership) (RIA)..

IMA collaborates with the Art Project of the Els Pinetons-Ripollet Secondary School The Pinetons Institute School carries out an annual Art Project in which all its pupils aged between 3 and 16 take part. In the 2023 proposal, the proposed theme is "From ME to WE". The proposal stems from the need to build the "I" and recognise one's own identity as a key element in the relationship with others to contribute to the "WE", to be able to identify the influence that each of the pupils leaves on the community and the influence that the community leaves on each of them. A journey from the inside to ..read more

IMA is one of the members of the MINETHIC project consortium "Promoting the recovery and valorisation of strategic mineral resources for the ecological transition". The general objective of MINETHIC is the research of new sources of non-conventional mining raw materials, both industrial and urban,for the Ecological Transition, covering the entire value chain:pre-treatments to concentrate the materials of interest and eliminate interferents, separation, recovery, and purification treatments, and validation of the recovered materials in final applications (permanent magnets, cathodes, catalysts ..read more

Magnetism in technology Magnetism in technology has evolved. For a start, magnetism is one of the most fundamental forces in the universe and has been used by mankind for thousands of years. Since ancient times, magnetic compasses have been used for navigation. And today magnetism is present in a wide variety of modern technologies, from electric motors to data storage devices. The history of magnetism in technology begins with the invention of the magnetic compass in China in the 9th century. The compass is based on the property of magnetic needles to align themselves with the Earth's magneti ..read more

The connection between magnetism and electricity Magnetism and electricity are two powerful forces that are closely related to each other. Both forces can be understood through the concepts of electric charge and magnetic field, which are the basis of their interconnection. Magnetism refers to the force that allows attraction and repulsion between magnetic objects. A magnetic field is generated when an object has a magnetic charge, which means that it has a north and a south pole. If an electric charge is moved in the magnetic field, it will experience a magnetic force, which can be attractive ..read more

Neodymium magnets are the most sought-after magnets Neodymium magnets are the most sought-after for their magnetic properties, this magnet is part of the group of permanent magnets. This type of magnet is made of an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron. It is the strongest permanent magnet, which makes it particularly attractive for all kinds of industrial applications and that is why it is the most widely used. Neodymium magnets have a high magnet attraction capacity to magnetic materials, which is greater than other magnets proportionally to their small dimensions. These powerful magnets have ..read more
