Zhu Ziqiang, one of the world’s leading experts in electric motor engineering, has left his four-decade career in Britain to take up a full-time position at Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

Distorted accounting obscures real propulsion costs, rare-earth dependency, and emerging alternatives BOSTON, MA, ...

The team, based at MIT's Microsystems Technology Laboratories, demonstrated the system by printing an electric linear motor – the type that generates straight-line motion instead of ...

In a world filled with high-tech robotics kits and programmable gadgets, one artist decided ...

MIT researchers have built a 3D-printing platform that can fabricate fully functional electric machines ...

MUNICH, Germany—ZF unveiled an electric motor that does not require magnets or rare earth materials, reducing reliance on mining in countries such as China and cutting manufacturing's carbon footprint ...

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 the ...

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 ...

Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) said it had developed the (claimed) world's first neodymium reduced, heat resistant magnet for electrified vehicle high output motors. The magnet does not require ...

It's not surprising that the powertrains of electric cars differ quite a bit from traditional internal-combustion engines. Although they have fewer moving parts, the rare-earth magnets that help power ...

The NEC defines a controller in a few different ways. In Art. 100, a controller is described as “a device or group of devices that serves to govern, in some predetermined manner, the electric power ...
