Incredible Science Fun Learning Ideas: Learn about magnetism, geometric structures, building ideas, and problem solving. Visual conception Magformers have neodymium magnets encapsulated within all edge surfaces. A neodymium magnet is one of the strongest iron-based magnetic materials in the world. This magnetic material is formed when 2 neodymium magnets are combined with 14 iron ferrite atoms and 14 boron atoms to make the neodymium molecule, Nd2Fe14B. Neodymium magnets are made of these molecules and when they are fully magnetized, they can exert a powerful magnetic pull that can hold up to 600 times their own weight! Neodymium is a metallic element found in earth’s crust. It was discovered in 1885 by Austrian chemist C.A. Von Welsbach. It occurs in minerals such as monazite and bastnasite. Neodymium magnets have only been in use since their discovery in 1984 and scientists continue to search for new ways to increase their power.
