Neodymium has magnetic appeal
Article Abstract:
The performance of Neodymium-iron-boron magnets has improved considerably and prices continue to fall. Limited, outdated and inaccurate information has often been the root cause, rather than deficiencies in the material itself, as many engineers struggle to use Neodymium in new devices.

Fluid flows get more dynamic with CFD
Article Abstract:
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software is successfully used to optimize renewable energy production. CFD's use in power generation looks set to grow rapidly if the number of wind farms and tidal power plants increase in line with expectations by 2010.
