AI Breakthrough Could Replace Rare Earth Magnets in Electric Vehicles
Scientists at the University of New Hampshire used artificial intelligence to compile a searchable database of 67,573 magnetic compounds, uncovering 25 previously unknown high‑temperature magnets. The AI system extracts experimental data from literature, predicts magnetic behavior, and records temperature thresholds. This breakthrough promises cheaper, sustainable alternatives to rare‑earth‑based magnets that power electric vehicles and other clean‑energy technologies. The effort was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Basic Energy Sciences.
How Everyday Foam Reveals the Secret Logic of Artificial Intelligence
Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania discovered that foam interiors remain in perpetual motion, contradicting the long‑held view that foams behave like frozen glass. Using simulations, they showed bubbles wander through countless configurations, a behavior mathematically identical to the parameter...
