It’s interesting, but even if it’s reaching near rare earth strength, can it be produced at scale? A less powerful magnet is useful if it can be cheaper.
Thats the challenge with novel materials, but it seems like they have gotten somewhat better at bringing them to market lately. For instance, novel battery technology
True the battery tech is really coming along, going to be interesting to see what prices are like when I go to replace the 22kwh worth of batteries on my boat next year. The fight between cheaper tech, inflation, and tariffs is going to be a nail biter.
Wut. Batteries all still suck
I was thinking of, for example, Sodium-ion batteries… sorry if your batteries suck mine are pretty good!
Those batteries suck
What’s wrong with them? What kind of battery problems are you having?
My batteries need to be replaced in less than 100 years, and the process to recycle them causes environmental damage and negative health effects.
Batteries are bad. Always have been, always will be. The solution is to avoid batteries. We need electric trains and busses that are grid tied.
The best battery is a non electric battery. That means running solar and wind during the day and the “battery” is running hydroelectric at night.
