Researchers have taken a major step toward printed, aligned anisotropic magnets via additive manufacturing processes. The U.S. Department of Energy's Critical Materials Institute has taken a major ...

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 ...

A new permanent magnet design of quasi-axisymmetric stellarator was made by researchers led by Prof. XU Guosheng from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of ...

Beginning with its origins as the archetypal and eponymously elusive rare-earth element, Dante Gatteschi explains why dysprosium and other lanthanides have cornered the market in molecular magnetism.

Japanese scientists are proposing a new material for use in the permanent magnets of electric vehicle motors. The incumbent technology – neodymium-iron-boron, sometimes with dysprosium – works well, ...

In a paper published in Scientific Reports, scientists at Oak Ridge National Labs present 3D printed permanent isotropic magnets that use rare earth metals recycled from computer hard drives. The ...
