Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By overcoming the limitations of the well-known Halbach array, which works ...

This activity is part of the Science Friday Sun Camp collection! The Sun generates an incredible amount of energy, energy that you can see and feel as light and heat. Other forms of energy from the ...

The development of permanent magnets continues to be driven by the need for improved magnetic properties coupled with robust mechanical performance. Advances in materials science have revealed that ...

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 ...

Damping vibrations is crucial for precision experiments, for example in astronomy. A new invention uses a special kind of magnets to achieve this -- electropermanent magnets. They consist of a ...

Physicists Prof. Dr. Ingo Rehberg from the University of Bayreuth and Dr. Peter Blümler from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have developed and experimentally validated an innovative approach for ...

A team of scientists from Ames National Laboratory developed a new machine learning model for discovering critical-element-free permanent magnet materials. The model predicts the Curie temperature of ...

Three pieces of large digging equipment work on reddish-tan ledges of dirt and rock at a surface mining site. The permanent-magnet industry today is largely dependent on rare earth elements sourced ...

U.S.-based Energy Fuels receives final confirmation from leading global automotive supplier that its high-purity NdPr oxide, mined in Florida and Georgia and processed in Utah, has been qualified for ...

The origins of magnetic steel can be traced back to the 18 th century when scientists began experimenting with iron alloys. In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted's accidental discovery of electromagnetism ...
