United Rare Earths licenses ORNL tech for magnet recycling

United Rare Earths has licensed two technologies from Oak Ridge National Laboratory to reduce dependence on critical rare earth elements for magnet production.

• The technologies enable creation of high-performance magnets with significantly less rare earth content, supporting U.S. energy independence and technological leadership.
• The innovation was developed by ORNL’s David Parker and team in partnership with DOE’s Critical Materials Innovation Hub.
  This initiative advances national security by securing critical mineral supply chains and reducing reliance on scarce resources.
