By: Marie Winston | 2011-02-03 | Business Neodymium rare earth magnets are permanent magnets made from an alloy of iron, boron and neodymium. This compound is also designated as NdFeB. It was created in 1982 in order to provide an alternative to samarium cobalt magnets. Magnets made from this alloy are the strongest type of rare earth magnet. read more
By: Nicholas Santiago | 2010-12-29 | Investing Rare earths stocks are all the rage right now. Every trader, investor, and financial media figure cannot stop talking about this industry group. Where were the rare earth stocks a year ago? Every since China mentioned that they would limit the export amount of their rare earth metals over the weekend these stocks have soared higher and caught a ton of media attention. read more
By: Marie Winston | 2011-01-13 | Business Neodymium rare Earth magnets are composed of a boron, iron, and neodymium alloy to form the strongest currently known type of permanent magnet. They are also the most affordable type due to a continuous decrease in price over the years since their first construction and are often used in the production of many modern technologies. read more
By: April Gilbertson | 2012-01-17 | Manufacturing Even with the arrival of inexpensive neodymium on the market, there is still a place for samarium-cobalt plate magnets. Their high Curie temperature makes them necessary in the hottest applications. The older types of magnets now find their primary uses in certain products. read more

By: David P Grossman | 2010-10-03 | Arts & Entertainment While all the focus seems to be on gold at the moment, there is a new a relatively unknown area of investment called Rare Earth Metals that has room for spectacular growth. In this article we explain what they are and how to get involved with this potentially huge market. read more
By: Marie Winston | 2010-11-23 | Business Rare earth magnets are a special type of magnet, first manufactured in the 1970s. They are made from rare earth metals, which are a group of seventeen elements found in the periodic table. These include scandium and yttrium, and despite the name, they are actually found in relative abundance in the earth's crust. Rare earth magnets have the distinction of being the most powerful type of permanent magnet. read more
By: Dom Einhorn | 2011-09-22 | Science ‘Rare earth elements’ are a group of 17 elements present in the periodic table (15 Lanthanoids, Scandium and Yttrium). Scandium and Yttrium are chemically similar and present in the same ores as Lanthanoids. read more
By: Marie Winston | 2010-12-21 | Business Common modern uses for these super strong magnets include hard drives, speakers and headphones, magnet motors for cordless tools and electric guitar pickups. The great advantage of these magnets for industrial purposes is that they are strongly magnetized in one direction. read more
By: Hector Klein | 2011-11-18 | Article Marketing Rare earth magnets produce their own laundry list of hazards because of their special properties and strength. The power of a magnet more than a half inch long is strong enough to cause damage to human tissue caught between two of them. The material they are made of are of such a brittle material that they often break and chip when allowed to strike each other. They can also cause damage to sensit read more
By: John Cheesman | 2010-03-28 | Advertising Rare Earth Magnets are strong permanent magnets. Rare earth magnets are made from alloys of rare earth elements. Rare earth magnets are much stronger than alnico or ferrite magnets, and the magnetic field produced by rare earth magnets can exceed 1200 milliteslas. read more
By: Dom Einhorn | 2011-09-21 | Business Rare earth elements are seventeen in number according to the periodic table. However, the word “rare” is not to be taken in a literal sense as most of these elements are readily available in the earth’s crust, and they are present in significant quantity. However, the reason the term rare is used is because the areas in which these elements are present can’t be easily extracted due to the read more
