If you were to pick one thing to magically erase from existence that would bring all
of modern life to a screeching halt, your best option would probably be magnets.
You are surrounded by magnets.
Magnets are there in hard drives.
I should do the list.
The list is amazing.
I knew they exist, I just, when I put it in a list, I was like, whoa.
Take apart your cell phone and you'll find a multitude of magnets inside.
In the speaker and microphone, in the vibrating motor, stabilizing the camera lens, there
are even more features.
tiny magnets on the circuit board. It's no exaggeration to say no magnets, no modern
world. And they're about to become even more important. As the world tries to become less
dependent on fossil fuels, magnets and the multi-billion dollar industry behind them
are the key to many clean energy technologies, including some crazy futuristic ones.
This is the fundamental building block of our fusion technology.
But there's a big problem with our VIMs, very important magnets, that could derail the whole
project of slowing climate change.
The supply chain of those is a challenge.
About 90% of that material is processed in China.
And so the concern is that if there's not enough magnets to go around, there'll be a
restriction in supply.
Which country controls them?
Magnetism controls the world.
So inventors around the globe are creating new kinds of magnets that could save our planet
and are face-melting riffs.
That'll make sense later.
Does it ever get old playing with magnets?
Oh my goodness, look at this.
No.
Magnets are fascinating, right?
Every single moment, they can surprise you.
It feels like it has its own character.
It has its own free will.
At times, we want to crush it, we want to scream at it,
And then we love it again.
Carline Mulder is a magnet scientist.
She spends her time trying to make better, stronger magnets.
This is our daily life, right?
Trying to get this material to have the most amazing magnetic properties
that we can harvest.
Moment of truth.
Voila! Magnets!
It's a world of intrigue for a scientist or an engineer.
and even more interesting if you can make a product
that can actually change the world for the better with it.
The kind of magnets Carlyne makes are called permanent magnets.
That is, metals that are magnetic on their own,
as opposed to electromagnets,
which only become magnetic when electric current flows around them.
Permanent magnets are a big business.
