A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new research has presented experimental evidence confirming a previously theorized ...

U.S.-made super magnets from Niron may be in audio gear next year, with EVs and wind turbines to follow. High-power magnets ...

Neodymium is a rare-earth element essential for producing the strongest permanent magnets, which are widespread in defense ...

Scientists have created flexible composite material on the base of polymers and nanoparticles of cobalt ferrite, that is able to transform magnetic fields into electric tension. Such transformation ...

MUNICH, Germany—ZF unveiled an electric motor that does not require magnets or rare earth materials, reducing reliance on mining in countries such as China and cutting manufacturing's carbon footprint ...

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 ...

Japan’s IHI has announced a “breakthrough” in magnet technology for high-speed motors, which could enhance the performance of future electric aircraft. The company says that it and local collaborators ...

Today’s computers store information in magnetic hard drives, keeping files safe even when the device is powered off. But to run programs and process information, computers rely on electricity. Each ...
