Electric motors are everywhere—from the cars we drive to the appliances in our homes—but most rely on rare earth magnets that come with high costs and environmental challenges. A new wave of ...

China controls about 90% of the entire global supply of rare earth magnets, including their mining and refining. That means that most of the neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium that end up in EV motors ...

If you want to buy an electric vehicle or another device with an electric motor, chances are that motor will contain a magnet made with rare-earth minerals. These are compounds like neodymium and ...

Axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machines have garnered significant attention for applications requiring high torque density and efficiency, particularly in scenarios where axial space is ...

As artificial intelligence, cloud computing and digital services continue to expand, the world is facing a growing need for faster and more energy-efficient ways to store and process information. A ...

Schematic of power generation by the thermoelectric permanent magnet, and a photograph of the artificially tilted multilayer consisting of a SmCo 5-type magnet and Bi 0.2 Sb 1.8 Te 3. The ...

Niron Magnetics has announced a project in collaboration with Stellantis to develop a new generation of electric motor designs for automotive use using magnets free of rare-earth elements. Niron’s ...

When we think of powerful magnets used in particle accelerators or for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we often envision bulky machines, sometimes the size of buildings. But in an extraordinary ...
