I bought some "fridge magnets" made from neodymium a while back. They're not super strong and pretty small. But the toddler has discovered magnets and I remember the packaging warning to wear safety glasses around them due to "shatter risk." Even this small? I've put them away for now.
My neodymium magnets are on their way and I'm going to pick up some cans of expanding foam later today.
Does the existence of neodymium implies the existence of dymium? Like, the old dymium?
A new report on the state of UK critical materials is out today. These are the materials we all rely on for our technology buut are in short supply or politically strategic. Eg. Neodymium. Win win opportunity here for the post consumerist economies of 21st century. nepc.raeng.org.uk/critical-mat...
Explore a new report from the NEPC about resource efficiency and demand reduction for critical materials to support the UK’s existing Net Zero Strategy.
It's always a mild force with those methods. A neodymium is inert until hit with a large electric charge. Larger the charge more magnetic force. No doubt there's an upper limit. Just bought a set of 100lbs/32kg pull for modding a video camera.
Neodymium magnets do it, a little. But it depends on the "thing's" composition. An electric charge will give a strong magnetisation.
I bought some small neodymium magnets to help make the CHUCK box a little fancier, but they keep attracting each other from across the table as I try to work with them, colliding and smashing themselves. #boardgames#gamedesign 🎲✂️
Rare earth metals such as neodymium praseodymium, known as NDPR, are only available in commercial amounts from China. SK could be a Western controlled alternative www.scmp.com/news/world/u...
Saskatchewan, home to copper, potash and uranium mines, aims to become first North American commercial alternative for the metals.
