Integrated Nano-Magnetics Corp, a subsidiary of Nanocrystal Technology LP, was granted a patent based on a nanoscience discovery by former Chief Scientific Officer Aleksey Yekimov. The technology allows the creation of strong permanent magnets crucial for industrial and military applications, reducing dependence on rare earth elements, mostly sourced from China. Yekimov, along with Louis Brus and Moungi Bawendi, received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their quantum dot discovery, with applications in LED color tuning, TV screen resolution, and MRI improvement. The patent achievement offers an alternative to China's near-monopoly on rare-earth-based magnets, vital for various technologies. The market for permanent magnets is projected to reach $50 billion by 2030, driven by increased electric vehicle usage. Integrated Nano-Magnetics Corp aims to contribute significantly to nanotechnology advancements.
