Researchers have received a grant to develop stronger magnets using feasible materials. The grant, nearly $3 million, comes from the Department of Energy. Professors from the University of Houston and Rice are involved in the project.

The goal is to create better magnets, and the project aligns with efforts to invest in domestic production of rare Earth magnets. Currently, such materials are often mined in foreign territories like China. Further details about the project and its objectives are available from the source.

The grant is part of a push to reduce reliance on foreign sources for these materials.
