The incredible power of electric motors can only be matched by how difficult it is to make them. These things need magnets to work, and magnets are made from rare earth elements, which are difficult ...

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 ...

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 ...

Recurring export controls and tariffs on rare-earth materials have already disrupted motor availability globally, delaying vehicle production and fleet electrification timelines. The global EV market, ...

With its Hunstable Electric Turbine, Linear Labs promises three times the torque, twice the power and a 10% increase in range in an electric vehicle over a typical permanent magnet motor. One problem ...
