Money Quote:

Since these new magnets are composed of alloys that are free of rare-earth elements, they could replace existing rare-earth based magnetostriction alloys, which are expensive and feature inferior mechanical properties, said researchers

Now, China and Russia won't have the Rare-Earth Monopoly anymore...........

Tech Ping!..........
Energy Ping!..........

Man, that’s Harsh! Deep too!

[Da Coyote]

Hey, hey, hey,...they didn’t invent that.

Dorkbama, the Hillabeast, Elizabeth Liesalottous and the Kerrylurch did.

[piytar]

Oh, they might still have it, but it would be like owning a buggy whip monopoly today...

[bunkerhill7]

That`s Swell!

Any relation to Deep Pack Chopra?

[Red Badger]

It’ll definitely be a growing business.........

[Red Badger]

Maybe, but they may be opposite poles.............

I don’t get the “energize the world” bit of the title. But then I am not sure I really see the significance of this discovery.

[Red Badger]

Well, one thing is they don’t require ‘rare’ minerals, now almost monopolized by China and Russia.

Another thing is they swell and contract in response to an external magnetic field, so that now instead of two magnets being required for certain applications, one will suffice.

Are you happy to see me?
Or do you have a Non-Joulian Magnet in your pocket?...........

This reeks of the normal money trolling University article.

[Red Badger]

If this is as big a deal as they say, they won’t need any money.............

[Do the math]

Think about it, magnetic muscles. The applications are endless.

I read the article. I remain unenlightened, especially about energizing the world.

Thanks Red Badger.
