The aim of the CoCoMag is to synthesize, produce and test new alloys suitable for permanent magnets and magnetocaloric applications without using highly critical elements like rare earth and cobalt. This step is crucial to accelerate the electrification of our infrastructures.
Our alloys consist of several main elements in relatively high concentrations, known in technical jargon as high entropy alloys. This allows the properties of the individual elements to be fully exploited, which means that the new magnets will not only be more sustainable, but also with additional functionalities such as malleability and corrosion-resistance.
On 19 November 2025, projects of the EIC Clean and Efficient Cooling Portfolio gathered in Delft (Netherlands) for an in-person meeting hosted at TU Delft. The event brought together research teams, industrial partners, and representatives of the EIC to exchange progress, strengthen collaboration, and discuss strategic topics relevant to the future of clean cooling technologies.
Our CoCoMag project partner DUK recently took part in the MMM 2025 Conference (Conference on Magnetism and Magnetic Materials), one of the world’s leading international events dedicated to magnetism and magnetic materials, held in the United States.
From 5 to 6 November 2025, CoCoMag team member Zhe Cui (University of Seville) attended the 9th Young Researchers in Magnetism (YRinM2025) conference, held in Almagro, Spain.
