Annealed neodymium iron boron magnets sit in a barrel prior to being crushed into powder at Neo Material Technologies Inc.'s Magnequench Tianjin Co. factory in Tianjin, China, on Friday, June 11 ...

For neodymium magnets, the unit cell formula is Nd 2 Fe 14 B. This is confusing when you look at schematics of the crystal structure, which show far more than two neodymium atoms and fourteen irons.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers have developed a new, more efficient permanent magnet that removes the deficiencies of conventional samarium and neodymium magnets. Unfortunately ...

Materials Nexus discovered a new rare-earth-free magnet called MagNex with the help of AI - here’s how they did it.

The strongest permanent magnets today contain a mix of the elements neodymium and iron. However, neodymium on its own does not behave like any known magnet, confounding researchers for more than a ...

To make the new recipe work, Toyota scientists reduced the size of the magnet’s grains to 0.25 micrometers, one-tenth their original size. They then concentrated neodymium on the surfaces of the ...

In theory, iron nitride should be able to produce magnets that are even stronger than neodymium ones. But today, Niron’s magnets can only reach around 10 MGOe, Rowntree says.

The U.S. government must pursue an innovative, dynamic approach to reestablish permanent magnet manufacturing before ...

In this video, we explore the capabilities of a powerful Neodymium N52 magnet. Watch as we perform a series of experiments, ...

While rare earths magnets from China are beginning to flow again, customers remain on edge about the threat of future ...

"If all outflow of permanent magnets in decommissioned capacity was recovered and reused, 3.5Gg of virgin neodymium demand could be avoided by 2050," the paper states.

Magnet fishing spiked in popularity thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. Now China and the demand from other industries for the material used to make the magnets is threatening the hobby's future.
