Materials Nexus discovered a new rare-earth-free magnet called MagNex with the help of AI - here’s how they did it.

Two great minds in permanent-magnet-free motor design are fusing their know-how to create an even more capable inductive electric motor. Mahle and Valeo have teamed up to introduce what they call ...

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 ...

There have been iron-nitride "soft magnets" in use for some time, but these don't work for motors, wind turbines, and audio speakers.

Asynchronous induction motors work by rotating the magnetic field of the stator with AC power. In an induction motor, the stator and the rotor are both made of wire windings.

Any permanent magnet motor can operate as either a motor or generator. In all-electrics and hybrids, they are more precisely called a motor/generator (M/G). But the technologically curious want to ...

Brushless DC motors, or BLDCs, work in a similar way to PMSMs using permanent magnets paired with an electronically-commutated stator.

How motors work in 25 words or less … If you've ever used one magnet to repel another, you already know the basics of how electric motors work.
