Who Will Free EV Motors from the Rare Earth Monopoly?

Cars That Think

Ayman El-Refaie, Marquette University Now a sleeper option, synchronous reluctance motors , is getting a surge of interest, thanks to materials-science breakthroughs at GE Aerospace. I am a believer that this type of material is a game changer.” El-Refaie originated the GE program in dual-phase materials in 2005.

Tin-based nanoplates as promising anode materials for high-capacity Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the Harbin Institute of Technology, with colleagues from the Beijing University of Technology and the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, have synthesized tin chalcogenide (SnSe 0.5 S 0.5 ) nanoplates for use as Li-ion anodes. exhibits an outstanding discharge specific capacity of up to 1144?
