The Material Resources blog is no longer being updated! However, you can follow me on Twitter, drop in to my Posterous where I occasionally post things and of course check out IOM3's superb new website (which I manage) at www.iom3.org On the latter you'll find dozens of new articles every month by materials, minerals and mining professionals, as well as a host of other essential information on IOM3 services and communities, and improved features including forums and content alerts. Look forward to seeing you there!

Best wishes

September issue of Materials World out now


The latest issue of Materials World focuses on magnetic materials. Matthew Ball of EPSRC takes a look at Responsive Mode Funding for magnetic research, while Michael Forrest talks to Len Comerford, Chief Executive Officer of Titanium Resources Ltd, about Sierra Leone’s rutile mining revival. Other magnetic-related features focus on how research into resonant frequency might improve the accuracy of sensing equipment, exploring the magnetic properties of nanostructures, and the role of numerical modelling in magnetic data storage technologies.


In other feature stories, Magnus Ericsson, chairman of the Raw Materials Group, Sweden, describes the latest trends in the iron and steel industry, while Michael Hall of the National Physical Laboratory discusses the behaviour of magnetic materials under extreme conditions.


In the news section, the MW team takes a look at a new superconducting magnet that can create a 26.8-tesla magnetic field, funding for carbon saving projects, and mining contracts in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
