Permanent magnets sit at the heart of the green economy, from wind turbines and electric vehicles to smartphones and industrial robots. For decades, the strongest versions have depended on 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 ...

A Minnesota-based company has opened its commercial pilot plant to ramp up rare earth-free permanent magnet production. Niron Magnets' facility in Minneapolis will produce sustainable alternative to ...

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 ...

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) ...

Through its dedication to quality, customization, and technical excellence, Great Magtech (Xiamen) Electric Co., Ltd. continues to strengthen its reputation as a leading supplier of permanent magnets ...

Contrary to their name, rare-earth magnets are not made from rare materials; they are nevertheless the most powerful permanent magnets. The term “rare-earth” originates from the 17 elements in the ...

“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 ...

Researchers have proposed a simplified design for nuclear-fusion reactors, based on powerful permanent magnets. Fusion reactors are still at the prototype stage. They confine plasma inside a ...
