Magnet-free induction motor aims to nearly halve carbon emissions

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 Inner Brushless Electrical Excitation (iBEE) system,… Continue reading Magnet-free induction motor aims to nearly halve carbon emissions

World’s strongest resistive magnet fired up in China

Scientists in China have developed the world’s strongest resistive magnet, which produced a steady magnetic field of 42 Tesla (T). The system could improve devices that use magnets, as well as enable a range of new experiments that probe electromagneti… Continue reading World’s strongest resistive magnet fired up in China

AI discovers new rare-earth-free magnet at 200 times the speed of man

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

Graphite platform levitates with no need for external power source

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

Altermagnetism: New form of magnetism discovered in common materials

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

Electrical Steel: The Material at Heart of the Grid

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

Tiny injected m-Torquers could magnetically treat Parkinson’s disease

The m-Torquers are nanoscale magnets tagged with antibodies which cause them to stick to neurons like these

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.
