Toyota says it has invented a new magnet for high-energy applications like electric motors that uses a fraction of the amount of neodymium (a rare-earth element) of a standard iron, boron ...

and it may soon be possible to build permanent magnets as strong as neodymium magnets, but without any rare earth metals. In fact, the only thing needed to make them is iron and nitrogen ...

it’s a work of art. A 3d printed plug with a brass shaft was added on each side, allowing the assembly to spin on a 3D-printed stand. [Seth] placed a 2″ N52 neodymium spherical magnet inside ...

The go-to rare earth for powerful, durable magnets is neodymium. Most of this pricey element comes from China, and Toyota says demand is expected to increase rapidly. Smaller amounts of terbium or ...

A strong type of magnet used in many new commercial products can interfere with pacemakers and implanted heart devices with deadly consequences. Close contact - within about 3cm - with a neodymium ...

The company describes itself as “a link in the circular economy by offering a green metallurgical solution through short loop recycling of neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets to secure and diversify ...
