  1. In #Space, #Magnets Could Unlock Acceleration Without #Rocket Fuel
    'Acceleration without fuel:' Revolutionary #superconducting device harnesses Earth's #magneticfield to move a #spacecraft
    "We are essentially looking to remove all reliance on Earth's resources so that we can build a sustainable industry in space."

  2. #China expands #rareearth #exportcontrols, creating risks for PC component supply — Beijing tightens grip on materials for HDDs and more to protect #nationalsecurity
    The updated rules, which take effect in December, cover not just elements like #holmium, #thulium, #erbium, and #ytterbium, but also the technical know-how around how they’re turned into #magnets. As dominant supplier of rare earths globally, China exerting more pressure on supply could have knock-on effects.

  7. Hey, any (#physics, science, etc) doing on magnetic materials [#magnetism]? I'd like your take on the prospect of as an alternative to . My understanding is that the theoretical magnetic energy product is about 80% that of available neodymium magnets, but that raises the question of how much realizable magnetic energy products might approach theoretical.
