Re: [Vo]:CNN.COM: The race to make the world's strongest magnet

[Jed Rothwell]

A group in Japan has come up with nano-particle based magnets mainly 
made from Fe. Supposedly they are as strong as rare-earth magnets, 
without the rare earths. The design was proposed theoretically decades 
ago. It has only now become practical.

I just wrote that from memory. The story was reported on NHK about a 
week ago. I cannot find any details.
