Global Ice Age Climate Patterns Influenced by Bering Strait

Green Car Congress

In a vivid example of how a small geographic feature may have far-reaching impacts on climate, new research shows that water levels in the Bering Strait—which separates the US and Russia by only 90 kilometers (56 miles)—helped drive global climate patterns during ice age episodes dating back more than 100,000 years.

Researchers use ionic liquids for recycling bonded NdFeB permanent magnets

Green Car Congress

This study is also the first one to collect different types of bonded magnets from the global magnet market to simulate a real life-like situation. For these reasons, we decided to explore the use of ionic liquids for the recycling of bonded NdFeB magnets for the first time. —Önal et al.
