For about ten years, magnetic skyrmions—particle-like, stable magnetic whirls that can form in certain materials and possess fascinating properties—have been a focus of research: easy to control ...

Technologies related to the green transition and digitalization require tremendous amounts of different chemical elements. "We cannot decide which elements we can find from the Earth's crust within ...

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 ...

China's rare earth monopoly faces new competition from iron and nitrogen magnets. Manufacturers are adapting EV designs to ...

In this video I show you what happens when you bring a type II superconductor near ferrofluid that is in a magnetic field. Then I show you what happens when you pour a liter of ferrofluid on a giant ...

The origins of magnetic steel can be traced back to the 18 th century when scientists began experimenting with iron alloys. In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted's accidental discovery of electromagnetism ...
