A British company is teaming up with a U. S. firm to develop a new way to power submarines. Tokamak Energy is providing high-tech magnets to General Atomics. These magnets are crucial for a new type of underwater propulsion system. This system uses magnetic fields to move water instead of traditiona
China's shipments of rare earth magnets saw a decline in September. This happened before new, stricter export rules were even put in place. The drop was about 6. 1% compared to the previous month. This news comes from official Chinese customs data. So, why is this a big deal? Rare earth magnets are
The world of tiny tech is buzzing with excitement over bilayer altermagnets. These are special materials that could revolutionize how we use and control tiny electronic parts. They have a unique property called spin-valley locking, which is like having a superpower for controlling electrons. This ma
Dysprosium, a rare earth element, has a special talent for magnetism. To make the most of this talent, scientists are looking at how different structures can boost its magnetic powers. One key factor is the crystal field around the dysprosium ion. A strong field along the axis can boost magnetic str
