source：India Education DiaryNew Delhi: Scientists at the International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials (ARCI), an autonomous R&D Centre of Department of Science and Technology (DST) has developed a rare-earth-based magnetocaloric material that can be effectively used for cancer treatment. The magnetocaloric materials (certain materials in which application and removal of a magnetic field causes the materials to become warmer or cooler) developed by ARCI are being tested at Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences & Technology (SCTIMST). A pape...

source：www.electrive.comThe British research project RaRE has set itself the goal of setting up a continuous supply chain to integrate recycled rare earth magnets into electric vehicles. Bentley is one of the companies involved in the project, which is led by HyProMag, a spin-off from the University of Birmingham.RaRE stands for Rare-Earth Recycling for E-Machines and is based on a patented process developed at the University of Birmingham for the extraction and demagnetisation of certain alloy powders – especially neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB). These alloy powders can be extracted from scrap a...
