About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines a cooperative agreement valued at $753,255 on July 28, 2026, to develop new magnetic materials with magnetic flux densities exceeding those of neodymium-iron-boron (ND2FE14B) and top-performing soft magnets. The work funds research into manganese-based materials that leverage the element's five unpaired 3D electrons to achieve higher magnetic moments compared to iron-based alternatives, addressing a fundamental limitation in current magnetic material design. Performance occurs in Golden, Colorado, with a completion date of July 27, 2029. The award is funded under the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy program (CFDA 81.135), which supports high-potential, high-impact energy technologies too early for private-sector investment.

Description

As the agency reported it.

These materials rely on iron as the magnetic species, with its magnetism originating in 4 unpaired 3D electrons. The number of electrons fundamentally limits the magnetic moment. Replacing iron with elements that have more unpaired electrons, such as manganese (MN, 5 unpaired 3D electrons), provides a mechanism to increase the magnetic moment compared to known materials.
