Scientists create cheaper magnetic material for cars, wind turbines Scientist Arjun Pathak arc melts material in preparation for producing a new type of magnet. Karl A. Gschneidner and fellow scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory have created a new magnetic alloy that is an alternative to traditional rare-earth permanent magnets. The new [...]
3D-Printed Magnets Made from Recycled Materials Using recycled materials to make magnets could allow companies to circumvent supply chain issues for sourcing magnetic objects. Permanent Magnets and Applications Group/IMDEA Nanoscience A processed powder from recycled magnetic material (left) can be used in a 3D printer to create magnets of arbitrary shape (right). The COVID-19 pandemic [...]
3D-printed Super Magnets From wind turbines and electric motors to sensors and magnetic switching systems, permanent magnets have many electrical applications. The production of these magnets usually involves sintering or injection molding. But due to the increasing miniaturization of electronics and the more exacting requirements, this places on magnetic components in terms of geometry, these [...]
3D Printing Magnetic Fields Is Now Possible With Polymagnet’s Maxels Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku has made it clear that the future belongs to mass customization, IoT and, further down the line, electromagnetism. While mass customization is made possible by 3D printing and the IoT will be made possible by embedded 3D printed electronics, it is [...]
3D printed magnetic polymer composite hydrogels for hyperthermia and magnetic field driven structural manipulation Magnetic hydrogels and soft composites have fueled the development of next generation biomimetic soft robotics due to their precise control and non-cytotoxic nature. Bare magnetic nanoparticles are difficult to regulate via remote controlling whereas, when these nanoparticles are arrested inside polymeric [...]
SPANISH RESEARCHERS DEVELOP 3D PRINTED MAGNETS MADE OF RECYCLED MATERIALS Insiders and analysts predict the 3D printing trends to watch in our latest series of articles focused on the future of 3D printing. Researchers at the IMDEA Nanoscience Institute, an interdisciplinary research center in Spain, have developed a new method of 3D printing magnets using [...]
Nanoscale textures found in 3D printed magnets may become potential information carriers In a study published in Nature Nanotechnology, an international team led by the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, UK, used advanced 3D printing technology to create magnetic double helices that, like DNA's double helices, twist around each other , which combines [...]
Section 232 investigation into the effect of imports of neodymium magnets on U.S. national security the Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issued a Notice of Request for Public Comments (Notice), inviting the public to submit written comments on the initiation of a Section 232 national security investigation to determine the national [...]
A Rare Metal Called Neodymium is in Your Headphones, Cellphone and Electric Cars You may not have heard of neodymium, but you’re probably carrying some of it around with you right now. It’s in your cellphone, your headphones and you might be driving several pounds of it around in your car. Neodymium — pronounced “nee-oh-DIM-ee-um” [...]
Investors Resist Pull of Chinese Rare Earth Magnet Maker JL Mag HONG KONG -- A major Chinese manufacturer of rare earth magnets for electric vehicles, wind power generators and energy-efficient air conditioners made an underwhelming debut on the Hong Kong stock market on Friday despite being a key player in a red-hot sector. JL Mag [...]
Is The United States Considering Launching a Section 232 Investigation into Chinese Neodymium Magnets? According to information reported by White House officials, the U.S. Treasury Department is considering launching a Section 232 investigation on the grounds of "national security". The object of the investigation is the import of neodymium magnets widely used in electromechanical products, [...]
