Read MoreBunting-Berkhamsted Review 2022
2022 turned out to be a rollercoaster of a year. Early post-pandemic positivity was quelled when Russia invaded neighbouring Ukraine, an unacceptable act of aggressive that caused the world’s economy to shudder. As a result, there was a rise in both material and energy costs. During the year both Neodymium and Ferrite raw materials rose…
Read MoreMedical Magnet Spotlight: Magnets and Cochlear Implants
Magnets feature in a wide range of medical applications including heart pumps, surgical tools, hearing aids, and cochlear implants. A cochlear implant is a surgically implanted neuroprosthesis that provides a person who has moderate-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss with sound perception. Unlike hearing aids, which amplify sounds, cochlear implants bypass damaged areas of the ear and…
