3D-printed metallic glass motor parts could slash energy loss in drones, e-bikes

SMRTR summary

European researchers have developed 3D-printed metallic glass motor parts that dramatically reduce energy waste in electric motors by replacing conventional crystalline materials with amorphous metal alloys. The new materials eliminate internal friction during magnetic field changes, potentially making drones, e-bikes, and electronics significantly more efficient.
