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.
