FeN
FeN - Iron Nitride. A new kind of rock, not using rare-earth and still boasting awesome properties...
Including boasting a maximum Gauss rating of N130+, and claiming much lower manufacturing costs utilising current manufacturing systems...
It looks like University of Minnesota has dibs on it's research... But what is everyone else seeing out of this stuff? :o

@DirectorX more toxic than the normal rare earth flavors? I don't know enough biochem to say anything about how these magnets would interact. I know I would be foolish to say than FeN is safer than NdFeB because your trading all the Nd and B for N... Obviously, chemicals and elements react. #_#
Is it the iron being toxic? Or does nitrogen do fun stuff when broken down? Or does the whole compound act as a poison? >~<
Never mind. Wikipedia. ^^
So basically, ammonia time bomb if the coating fails?... >~<
finger tip may get blown off in a fashion that could either look like a scene from saw or be your own implanted 4th of July. We don't care we just want to see something blow up.
Jokes aside wasn't films who said that bio glass would be to think to get good sensation from the magnet? I do think a PVD process could work if you had away to recharge the magnet....

It has over twice the force of the strongest magnets one would walk across. Gram for gram, if it was safely coated, I could see it shaming the m31. It would be like neodymium magnets compared to good ceramic fridge magnets. >~<
The loss of strength from N52 to N48 Is a tangible detriment. This would let magnets either become much more receptive, and could tolerate thicker coatings with less detriment, or be made smaller in size.

Or how far are we working with information we dont know... How pure is pure, is that something we reach?
