Take neodymium iron boron magnets as an example. This material, known as the "King of Permanent Magnets", is a core component of the drive motors in new energy vehicles, wind turbines, and industrial robots. A high-end new energy vehicle's drive motor requires 1-2 kilograms of neodymium iron boron magnets. Among them, o…

New Energy Sector: From Electric Vehicles to Energy Storage, Rare Earths Become the "Efficiency Driver" The global penetration rate of new energy vehicles has exceeded 20%, and solid-state batteries with high energy density and fast charging performance are moving from the laboratory to mass production. Meanwhile, rare …

It has been reported that rare earth exploration and development company Pensana has abandoned plans to build a rare earth oxide separation facility at Saltend near Hull in the Humber Freeport.The project, which was set to cost £250 million, was originally expected to provide 450 jobs during construction and 150 during operation.…

When the manufacturing process enters the sub-7-nanometer range, the thickness of the gate dielectric layer of transistors is less than 5 nanometers - equivalent to 30 atoms lined up side by side. At this point, the traditional silicon dioxide (SiO₂) dielectric will leak due to the "tunneling effect", wasting power lik…

If rare earth magnets are the "muscles" of semiconductor equipment, then rare earth compounds are the "scalpels" in the processing stage. In the "transformation" of a wafer from a crude silicon wafer to a chip, every step of "carving" relies on the "precise operation" of rare eart…

The "crown jewel" of semiconductor equipment, the lithography machine, is often hailed as the "pearl on the crown of human industry." However, few people know that its "pearl" status is entirely supported by rare earth magnets. EUV lithography machines require the wafer stage to move at several meter…

The value of rare earths to the semiconductor industry is essentially "trace but decisive" - their usage often accounts for less than 0.1% of the total, yet they determine the "ceiling" of the entire industrial chain. This characteristic has trapped the semiconductor industry in a paradox of "the more adv…

On October 9th, the Ministry of Commerce of China issued two announcements on strengthening the export control of rare earth-related items. The new regulations will impose export control on certain rare earth-related items and technologies that contain Chinese components from abroad. This further improves the rules and measures f…

In August, the EU's imports of magnets from China increased by 21%, while imports from the United States decreased by 5%. This highlights the growing dependence of Europe on Chinese magnets.New Western magnet factories are being built in the United States, Canada, and Europe, but experts warn that it may take several years to wea…

In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Export Control Law of the People's Republic of China, the Foreign Trade Law of the People's Republic of China, the Customs Law of the People's Republic of China, and the Regulations on the Export Control of Dual-Use Items and Technologies of the People's Republic of China, and in …
