Alqem AI is applying artificial intelligence to accelerate the discovery of rare-earth-free magnetic materials, directly addressing geopolitical supply chain vulnerabilities for critical components like EV motors. This initiative leverages advanced computational screening to bypass reliance on China-dominated production and overcome limitations in traditional experimental methods. The project represents a significant application of machine learning principles within quantum material science rather than general software or consumer tech developments.
Alqem AI & MPI CPfS Launch Project for New Magnetic Materials

Alqem AI is launching a project, with support from Prof. Claudia Felser, director at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, to identify new magnetic materials that do not contain rare earth elements. The collaboration between alqem AI and MPI CPfS focuses on addressing the increasing geopolitical issue of critical raw material supply, including high-performance permanent magnets produced at a rate of about 90 percent in China.
Alqem AI is launching a project to identify new magnetic materials without relying on rare earth elements, addressing increasing geopolitical vulnerabilities in critical raw material supply; the company reports that high-performance permanent magnets, essential for electric vehicles and wind turbines, are currently produced at a rate of about 90 percent in China.…
