Scientists Streamline Process for Controlling Spin in Magnetic Materials

Marking a major achievement in the field of spintronics, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Yale University have demonstrated the ability to control spin dynamics in magnetic materials by altering their thickness. The study, published recently in Nature Materials, could lead to smaller, more energy-efficient electronic devices. […]

DoD Awards Contract to Lynas to Build Rare Earths Plant in Texas

The U.S. Department of Defense wants to see bags of processed rare earth sitting on domestic soil, feeding the production of neodymium magnets in a politically secure supply chain. Its latest move toward the objective came in February when Australian-based Lynas Rare Earths Ltd, the largest rare earth element mining and processing company outside of China, was awarded a technology investment contract by DoD to build a rare earths processing plant in Texas.
