Wendy Wintersteen, President of Iowa State University, shares how Iowa State quietly saved the Manhattan Project, assured an Allied victory, and forever changed history.
Researchers have observed magnetic excitations that mimic the properties of an axion particle in a collaborative effort including the U.S. Department of Energy Ames National Laboratory and led by Harvard University. The axion is a particle that has been theorized to explain the dark matter that exists throughout the universe. A discovery like this one has the potential to solve several mysteries in quantum field theory and may even be used to detect real axions in the universe.

Scientists are working to find alternatives to rare-earth-based magnets that can function well in motors, because rare earth materials are expensive and can experience supply chain issues. One solution to this challenge was discovered by a team of researchers and industry partners led by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy Ames National Laboratory. They developed a rare-earth-free bonded magnet that not only retains its magnetism at high temperatures, coercivity nearly doubles with a 100°C (212°F) increase from room temperature.
