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 ...

Linear motors are becoming increasingly practical for general motion. Many are used for long strokes of a few feet or more. One new design, however, where the magnets move relative to a stationary ...

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 ...

Rarely a week went by in 2025 without some newsworthy development related to rare earth elements, magnets, and electric motors. IEEE Spectrum was on top of the big ones, starting with the production ...

Rare earth elements are used to produce magnets with very high strength that also strongly resist demagnetization, their performance is key to modern motors such as those in electric vehicles (EVs).

MINNEAPOLIS, TOKYO and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Niron Magnetics, the company commercializing the ...

In a world filled with high-tech robotics kits and programmable gadgets, one artist decided to strip everything back to the fundamentals of physics. Jamie from the YouTube channel Jamie’s Brick Jams ...

Emil Motors was founded by engineers Maximilian Güttinger and Johannes Unhold with the objective of redesigning the electric motor to eliminate reliance on rare earth materials while maintaining ...

It turns out the most abundant rare earth we have, cerium, can substitute for dysprosium when properly co-alloyed with cobalt. That's good news for the motor business. Share on Facebook (opens in a ...
