Nanocrystalline materials
and the energy revolution

New materials are required to meet the increasing global demand for energy
As our lives become ever more connected, the products we use, the vehicles we drive and the spaces where we live and work are requiring increasing amounts of electricity. In fact, global power demand is expected to grow 62% by 2050. Innovative materials are needed to meet this constantly expanding demand.

Nanocrystalline materials are a promising new generation of advanced, soft magnetic alloys used to control and convert electricity. And, Niobium is being used  in the production of these materials thanks to the valuable functionalities that it enables.

Why Niobium‑enabled nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials are critical for next‑generation power electronics
The rapid adoption of SiC and GaN wide‑bandgap semiconductors is driving higher switching frequencies, increased power density, and more compact power electronics – while significantly intensifying electromagnetic interference (EMI) challenges. 

Niobium‑enabled nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials provide an optimal solution, delivering low losses and superior high‑frequency performance that enable effective EMI suppression in smaller footprints. 

From AI‑driven data centers facing rising energy demand to 800V electric vehicle platforms enabling ultra‑fast charging, these materials support higher efficiency, improved reliability, and reduced copper usage, helping designers meet performance, compliance, and sustainability goals as global power consumption continues to grow.
Several exciting technologies are harnessing the potential of nanocrystalline materials, like electricity distribution and transmission grids that are safer and smarter; industrial applications that are more precise, efficient and higher performing; and transportation solutions that charge faster and easier.
