That’s the promise of new kinds of electric motors—the main place those rare earths are needed—that don’t require them, at all. A new startup called Conifer, which has unveiled a cheap ...

Around the world, ships are increasingly turning to electric battery-powered motors as a way to reduce toxic, planet-heating emissions. But when it comes to crossing the oceans, it's not so easy.

A handful of engineers who worked at Lucid Motors and on Apple’s electric car project have launched a new startup that puts a fresh spin on electric hub motors. The new startup, called Conifer ...

The motor, and Conifer's approach to building it, helped it build out a $20 million seed round from a host of deep tech investors, including True Ventures, MaC Ventures, MFV Partners, and others.

A new innovation in electric motor technology is set to redefine the future of transportation. German automotive parts manufacturer Mahle has unveiled a rare earth metal-free electric motor that ...

But the notion of the weight of a bumper-mounted electric winch makes your engineers twitch. Wait a second, there’s a perfectly powerful electric motor sitting ... The diagram shows a fairlead ...

A startup by the name of Donut Lab used this week's 2025 CES event in Las Vegas to present its modular in-wheel electric motor technology. Called the Donut Motor, the electric motor family has ...

Electric motors usually comprise a stator and a rotor, with the latter rotating inside the former. Donut Lab thinks this design is outdated, and a hollowed-out rotor can offer important advantages.
