It's not surprising that the powertrains of electric cars differ quite a bit from traditional internal-combustion engines. Although they have fewer moving parts, the rare-earth magnets that help power ...

Energy efficiency – either for electric or ICE cars – is achieved by one of these three pillars: mass, aerodynamics or powertrain. Researchers from the Carnegie Mellon University will be able to ...

Washington, D.C., has spent the past five years fixating on rare earths—where they’re mined, how they’re processed, and who controls the magnet supply chain. That attention is overdue. But the ...

The first all-electric Bentley production model, due in 2026, could set new standards for sustainability. Bentley announced earlier this month that it is undertaking a research project to develop an ...

In a world filled with high-tech robotics kits and programmable gadgets, one artist decided ...

As tensions mount between China and the United States, automakers in the West are trying to reduce their reliance on a key driver of the electric vehicle revolution - permanent magnets, sometimes ...

Postdoctoral researcher Jinsung Chun holds a thermo-magneto-electric generator, which uses magnets to dissipate heat from mechanical systems and turn it into useful electricity. Researchers at ...

One of the roadblocks for electric motor technology is that as operating temperatures go up, the magnets in the motors get weaker, resulting in a drop in power. Scientists have now developed a new ...

Niron Magnetics of northeast Minneapolis is commencing production of next-generation electric-motor magnets to power a greener economy with global industrial partners. Niron has built a ...
