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 ...

These new iron-nitride magnets are stronger, cleaner to make, and made from domestic iron-salt waste and nitrogen. Science is slowly chipping away at the various environmental and geopolitical ...

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 ...

Did you know GM invented the domestic, affordable permanent magnet? Before this neodymium-iron-boron magnet came along in 1984, electric motors, generators, audio speakers, hard-disk drives, and the ...

In a nutshell: Scientists in China have created a mind-bogglingly powerful resistive magnet that has officially broken the world record by sustaining an incredible 42.02 tesla. That is over 800,000 ...

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. — Mining the far reaches of the universe for clues about its past, a team of scientists including Philipp Kronberg of Los Alamos National Laboratory has proposed that magnetic fields ...

Under the right conditions, superconducting magnets allow electricity to flow essentially undisturbed, producing intense magnetic fields for a variety of uses, including nuclear fusion experiments.

At some point, you've probably heard the stern warning: Never put magnets near your electronics! It's advice so ingrained in tech culture that it feels like a law of physics. But is it true? Was it ...

Russell has a PhD in the history of medicine, violence, and colonialism. His research has explored topics including ethics, science governance, and medical involvement in violent contexts. Russell has ...

GM and Niron have teamed up to pry the EV motor material supply chain away from China. Did you know GM invented the domestic, affordable permanent magnet? Before this neodymium-iron-boron magnet came ...
