The powerful magnets used in electric vehicle (EV) motors rely on China for much of their rare-earth raw materials. According ...

One of the most important qualities of a strong magnet is its ability to keep its magnetization aligned in a preferred direction. This property, known as magnetic anisotropy, is essential for many ...

In a leap toward greener tech, researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute have discovered a way to control magnetic textures using electric fields no bulky magnets needed. Their star material? A ...

As some entities identify new (or at least overlooked) sources to meet the growing demand for rare earth materials, others are looking toward new tools. UK deep-tech company Materials Nexus announced ...

Although most of us simultaneously accept the premise that magnets are quite literally everywhere and that few people know how they work, a major problem with magnets today is that they tend to rely ...

A 0.37-square-meter panel built from about 1,500 neodymium permanent magnets could deflect roughly 20% of low-energy solar protons while drawing no spacecraft power, the researchers estimate. The ...

Researchers at the Quantum Machines Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) are studying levitating materials—substances that can remain suspended in a stable position without ...

U.S.-manufactured product line sets the standard for superior performance, versatility, and quality Rochester, NY: Arnold Magnetic Technologies Corporation (Arnold), a subsidiary of Compass ...

'Soft robots,' medical devices and implants, and next-generation drug delivery methods could soon be guided with magnetism -- thanks to a metal-free magnetic gel developed by researchers. Carbon-based ...
