An EV motor has been developed that uses no magnets, thus lessening the US's reliance on Chinese magnets.
I wonder what the motor's performance is like on high grade roads?

The MITRE cybersecurity product evaluations use adversarial attack techniques instead of basic malware samples, and as a result are the best tests of enterprise security products — particularly in light of dramatic recent attacks on SolarWinds and Colonial Pipeline.
What's especially interesting is just how well first-generation antivirus vendors like Symantec, McAfee and Trend Micro have fared in the MITRE tests. An eSecurity Planet article analyzes the data and speculates on why the old guard may have a built-in advantage over the hot upstarts:
"They may have been overshadowed in recent years by some of the flashy marketing of the upstarts, but that long history gives the old guard a product depth that’s tough to beat," eSecurity Planet wrote. "Just one example: Symantec was prepared for last year’s SolarWinds hack because it long ago faced attacks when hackers tried to disable endpoint agents, a primary vector for the Sunburst malware.
"In cybersecurity, experience still counts for something."

Maritime Launch Services has secured financing it says will
allow it to begin construction on a spaceport facility this
fall and get its first launch off the ground in 2022.
The first Cyclone 4M medium-class launch vehicle would take
off in 2023. The company wants to construct a rocket-launching
site in Canso, Nova Scotia to send satellites into orbit for
use in near-earth imaging, communications and scientific
experiments.
President and CEO Steve Matier stated the company has been
approached by small satellite launchers, and MLS is
considering hosting one of them for a first flight to
orbit from the launch site as the facility scales up
its operations. The company is expecting additional
funding for the project will be secured through equity,
debt and launch contracts.

Columbia Engineers develop the smallest single-chip system that is a complete functioning electronic circuit; implantable chips visible only in a microscope point the way to developing chips that can be injected into the body with a hypodermic needle to monitor medical conditions.
Sadly, one may also imagine that this technology will become a boogieman amongst the anti-science crowd.
