Neodymium magnets are helping to make the world a better place. Neodymium magnets, also known as NIB magnets, are a type of rare earth magnets. Rare earth magnets, like NIBs and Samarium Cobalt magnets, were only developed recently, during the 1970s and '80s. NIBs are very powerful magnets, that are used for artistic, scientific, and industrial purposes.

Industrial Purposes for Neodymium Magnets

You might not have heard of Neodymium magnets until recently, but chances are they have been an important part of your life for some time. You can find these powerful magnets in your microwave oven and your computer hard drive. You can find them in the anti-lock brake system of your car. You can find their handiwork in any number of miniaturized electronic products.

Now, you can buy NIBs for yourself. NIBs can be sculpted into teaching tools, to help kids learn about the shapes of different molecules. NIBs can be sculpted into models of animals, like magnetic dog sculptures, that can sit on your desk or mantle. NIBs can be shaped into interesting designs which can be hung like mobiles from your ceiling, or from trees or shrubs in your garden.

You can find all sorts of cool designs for magnetic sculptures online. If you are a very imaginative person, why not create your own designs? These magnets are so much fun to play with, because they are intensely strong. In fact, these magnets can act on one another from a distance of over 12 inches.
