Engineering company Ricardo has developed a prototype electric propulsion module, called Alumotor, that is an innovative rare earth metal free synchronous reluctance motor. The motor was delivered within a consortium project it led that was […]
Furthering its research and development into new magnetic materials, Japanese materials company Proterial has developed high-performance heavy-rare-earth-free neodymium sintered magnets with no use of heavy rare earth, and also confirmed the suitability of its Permendur soft magnetic material for motor core material for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft – opening a pathway to apply it more widely for cores of other motors requiring small size, light weight and high torque.

Bolstered by its development of a high-performance magnet without any heavy rare earth (HRE) metals,
LG Innotek is zeroing in its R&D sights on what it sees as the next step in the advancement of eco-friendly magnets – development of a commercially viable magnet devoid of any rare earths that is comparable in performance to those based on rare earth elements. It’s a technology development path which the company has been pursuing relentlessly and has generated a string of progressive breakthroughs in recent years. […]
Two efforts to build a supply chain in Europe for rare earth resources and magnets are bringing together a cluster of industry and academic players spanning the continent — and reaching even to Beatrice, Nebraska in the USA for processing ore samples from an idyllic field in Norway. Among entities linked to the projects are research technology development firm RTD Talos in Cyprus, research institute SINTEF in Norway, along with REE Minerals in Norway and American processing firm Rare Earth Salts in Nebraska.

Niron Magnetics has been raking in new strategic investor funding with a $25 million round led by Samsung Ventures that included automotive top-tier suppliers Allison Transmission and Magna, and a further collaboration with General Motors. […]
Niron Magnetics, the company pioneering the development of iron nitride magnets that are high-performance permanent magnets free of rare earths, is scaling up to evolve its company to become a significant player on the magnet market. One of its latest steps has been to appoint Jonathan Rowntree as new CEO. The leadership change and other key appointments represent a planned evolution of the company as it advances from a focus on development towards scaling, commercialization, and productization of its patented Clean Earth Magnet technology. […]
A team of scientists, led by the University of Leeds in the UK, made a breakthrough recently in a new advanced material which may eventually be an alternative to rare-earth-based permanent magnets. The researchers have developed a hybrid film from […]
