and it may soon be possible to build permanent magnets as strong as neodymium magnets, but without any rare earth metals. In fact, the only thing needed to make them is iron and nitrogen ...

Rare earth metals are making headlines as demand rises for products from smartphones to wind turbines, and as governments seek secure supply.

Two researchers who independently developed the neodymium magnet — used in everything from hard disk drives to automobiles — have been awarded the 44th Honda Prize. In 1982, two researchers ...

compared to a 19% decrease in the control group. This difference was statistically significant. Neodymium magnets are used in TMS to generate magnetic fields. Unlike electroconvulsive therapy ...

But rather than using alternating currents through large inductors, [Tim] put 40 neodymium magnets with alternating polarity around the circumference of a large MDF disk. When driven by a drill ...
