Two great minds in permanent-magnet-free motor design are fusing their know-how to create an even more capable inductive electric motor. Mahle and Valeo have teamed up to introduce what they call the ...

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 ...

A 0.37-square-meter panel built from about 1,500 neodymium permanent magnets could deflect roughly 20% of low-energy solar protons while drawing no spacecraft power, the researchers estimate. The ...

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 ...

'Soft robots,' medical devices and implants, and next-generation drug delivery methods could soon be guided with magnetism -- thanks to a metal-free magnetic gel developed by researchers. Carbon-based ...
