Every time an electric vehicle accelerates, the steel sheets stacked inside its motor flip their magnetic orientation ...

Electric vehicles are pushing scientists to tackle one of the biggest hidden energy drains inside electric motors: magnetic ...

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 ...

A research team led by Su-Min Kim and Jung-Goo Lee (Korea Institute of Materials Science; KIMS) has developed next-generation ...

An electric vehicle motor built with 100% recycled rare-earth magnets has passed automotive durability ...

Several companies around the globe have been hard at work innovating and refining magnet-free electric motors to make them a more viable option for the fast-growing EV industry. ZF Friedrichshafen has ...

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 ...

Disc motors are permanent-magnet stepping motors that exhibit performance comparable to that of hybrid motors. Rotors in disc motors are thin (typically less than 1-mm) discs, unlike the cylindrical ...

If you made a motor out of a magnet, a wire coil, and some needles, you probably remember that motors and generators depend on a rotating magnetic field. Once you know how it works, the concept is ...

The main market opportunities in the soft magnetic materials sector include rising demand in energy-efficient applications, ...
