Niron Magnetics aims to use cheap, widely available materials to make magnets for EVs and wind turbines. The motor in your vacuum cleaner and the one in your electric vehicle likely have at least one ...

Automakers and aerospace firms are accelerating rare-earth-free motor designs as dependence on neodymium becomes a liability.

The use of magnets to create motion in electric motors is an indispensable technology of modern industry. Now, a new discovery at Temple University, Philadelphia, The use of magnets to create motion ...

The American war machine depends on tiny bits of metal, some as small as dimes. Rare-earth magnets are needed for F-35 jet fighters, missile-guidance systems, Predator drones and nuclear submarines.

Permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) are widely adopted in industrial and electric vehicle applications thanks to their high power density and efficiency. However, with increasing demands on ...

A form of brain-inspired computing that exploits the intrinsic physical properties of a material to dramatically reduce energy use is now a step closer to reality, thanks to a new study led by UCL and ...
