As some entities identify new (or at least overlooked) sources to meet the growing demand for rare earth materials, others are looking toward new tools. UK deep-tech company Materials Nexus announced on Tuesday that it has designed a new rare-earth-fre… Continue reading AI discovers new rare-earth-free magnet at 200 times the speed of man
Magnetic levitation is used to float everything from lightbulbs to trains, with varying levels of success, but usually it requires a power source. Now, scientists in Japan have developed a way to make a floating platform that requires no external power… Continue reading Graphite platform levitates with no need for external power source
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering how those tool magnetizer/demagnetizer gadgets worked, [Electromagnetic Videos] has produced a pretty succinct and informative video on the subject. While the magnetizing step is …read more Continue reading Tool Demagnetizers and the Magnetic Stray Field
Scientists have confirmed the existence of a strange new form of magnetism. Hiding right under our noses, the team says that “altermagnetism” can be found in everyday materials and could have major technological uses.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTa… Continue reading Altermagnetism: New form of magnetism discovered in common materials
When thoughts turn to the modernization and decarbonization of our transportation infrastructure, one imagines it to be dominated by exotic materials. EV motors and wind turbine generators need magnets made …read more Continue reading Electrical Steel: The Material at Heart of the Grid
When it comes to the treatment of severe Parkinson’s disease, electrical deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a commonly used technique. It does have some serious drawbacks, however, which is why scientists are now looking to tiny wirelessly activated magnets instead.

Granular media such as sand have a range of interesting properties that make it extremely useful, but they still will obey gravity and make their way downhill. That is, until …read more Continue reading Moving Iron-Coated Polymer Particles Uphill Using External Magnetic Field
Scientists at ETH Zurich have discovered a new type of magnetism. Experiments show that an artificially produced material becomes magnetic through a mechanism that hasn’t been seen before.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: Magnetic, Magnet… Continue reading Scientists discover strange new form of magnetism
While electric vehicles certainly offer a host of eco-friendly advantages, they’re not without some asterisks, one being the rare earth materials (and harmful mining thereof) used to make the magnets intrinsic to most automotive-grade motors. New magne… Continue reading Future GM EV motors could swap rare earth with “Clean Earth” magnets
The chronic skin ulcers that diabetics often develop on their feet are notoriously slow to heal, sometimes to the point that they become seriously infected and require foot amputation. A new magnetic gel could help keep that from happening, as it repor… Continue reading Magnetic gel triples rate of wound healing by exercising skin cells
