Electric motors are everywhere—from the cars we drive to the appliances in our homes—but most rely on rare earth magnets that come with high costs and environmental challenges. A new wave of ...

Physicists have made an ultra-powerful magnet that fits in the palm of a hand 1. Magnets are essential for studying molecular structures using a technique called nuclear magnetic resonance. But ...

We each have our different approaches to monitoring energy consumption in our households. Some are vigilant about ensuring that every single appliance is switched off and unplugged before leaving home ...

Niron Magnetics has announced a project in collaboration with Stellantis to develop a new generation of electric motor designs for automotive use using magnets free of rare-earth elements. Niron’s ...

Kitchen folklore has long warned that sticking magnets on a refrigerator door will make the appliance work harder and waste electricity, but engineers say that story belongs with other outdated energy ...

For years, scientists have been trying to replicate the concept of nuclear fusion — the phenomenon that keeps the Sun and other stars alive — and turn it into a working reactor on Earth that can ...

New transmission method: KTH scientists demonstrated that twisting two layers of specific atom-thin magnets can send data using magnetic signals instead of electric currents. Energy efficiency boost: ...
