Electric motors or wind turbines are driven by powerful permanent magnets. The most powerful ones are based on the rare earth elements neodymium and dysprosium. In future, a new process route will ...

Two researchers who independently developed the neodymium magnet — used in everything from hard disk drives to automobiles — have been awarded the 44th Honda Prize. In 1982, two researchers working ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A Minnesota-based company has opened its commercial pilot plant to ramp up rare earth-free permanent magnet production. Niron ...

Researchers used artificial intelligence to rapidly scan decades of scientific literature and uncover tens of thousands of ...

Scientists fabricated isotropic, near-net-shape, neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) bonded magnets at DOE’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at ORNL using the Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) ...

India’s electric vehicle segment is getting perhaps the most important behind-the-scenes upgrade: locally made rare-earth ...

Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious metals—a breakthrough that could significantly advance clean energy ...

Researchers built extremely small, thermally stable magnetic particles with magnetic properties comparable to some rare earth magnets, the strongest permanent magnets ever created. These tiny magnets ...

Magnetic couplings transmit high torque with no physical contact, and they disengage smoothly when load gets too high. Generally speaking, the couplings use magnetic power in three different ways; ...

“By all the traditional metrics of single-molecule magnets, they’re the best,” says Nicholas Chilton of the new molecules. Chilton, who’s based at the University of Manchester, collaborated on the ...

Have you ever wondered how switchable magnets work? Not electromagnets, but those permanent magnet fixtures like the ones that hold dial indicators to machine tools, or the big, powerful chucks for ...
