In a world filled with high-tech robotics kits and programmable gadgets, one artist decided ...

While electric vehicles certainly offer a host of eco-friendly advantages, they're not without some asterisks, one being the rare earth materials (and harmful mining thereof) used to make the magnets ...

Linear motors are becoming increasingly practical for general motion. Many are used for long strokes of a few feet or more. One new design, however, where the magnets move relative to a stationary ...

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are AC synchronous motors that receive field excitation by permanent magnets. These motors have sinusoidal back-EMF and are similar to brushless DC (BLDC) ...

The electric motors that power today’s EVs rely on permanent magnets made using rare-earth metals such as neodymium. Rare earths are the 15 elements whose atomic numbers run from 57 to 71, plus ...

For decades, permanent magnets have been one of the least questioned links in the electrification supply chain.

In the NAFTech research project, scientists are developing an electric motor without magnets. Their proprietary design aims ...

China’s 168,000 Industrial Robots are Accelerating the Shift to High-Performance Motors Capacity expansion and ...
