Niron Magnetics: Rare Earth Free Permanent Magnets

Niron Magnetics is a US-based company working on eliminating rare earths from permanent magnets. Niron is looking to replace rare earths with iron nitride magnets, which it aims to make competitive on performance with rare earth magnets, but at a fraction of the price.

Three Key Trends Driving the EV Charging Market

The world is witnessing an electrifying revolution in the automotive industry. Electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a compelling solution to combat climate change and reduce our carbon footprint. As more and more individuals and businesses shift towards electric mobility, the demand for efficient and accessible EV charging infrastructure has skyrocketed.

How Long Until Small Modular Reactors Make an Impact on Energy Grids?

By taking advantage of assembly line production, SMRs promise cost reductions and shorter construction times relative to their conventional counterparts. The first nuclear small modular reactors (SMRs) are already operational in Russia and China, but widening adoption will require both technical and regulatory developments, including development in fuel supply chains and international licensing standardization.
