There was a similar announcement from a Japanese university, this year I think. Don't recall which one . . . They also developed powerful magnets without rare earths. The Japanese government was upset by the Chinese market manipulations of rare earths. It launched a number of initiatives to prevent that from happening again, such as research and opening mines in other countries. It was enthusiastic about this breakthrough. - Jed
