The recent rare earth magnet crisis, triggered by China’s export restrictions, has created supply chain disruptions across global automotive, defence and consumer electronics sectors. But there is ...

There are four main types of magnets: ceramic (ferrite), AlNiCo, Samarium Cobalt (SmCo), and Neodymium (NdFeB). The latter is one of the most commonly used in motors for hybrids vehicles and EVs.

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 ...

A new battery technology has been developed that delivers significantly higher energy storage—enough to alleviate EV range concerns—while lowering the risk of thermal runaway and explosion.

NEW DELHI: China has decided to lift the curbs on export of rare earth magnets to India, in a relief to industries, such as automobiles (especially electric vehicles manufacturing), renewable energy ...

Rare-earth elements are vital for the magnets found in electric cars, wind turbines and other parts of the “green economy”. But with uncertainties over the supply of these materials, James McKenzie ...
