Aircraft electric motors include a rotor having a plurality of magnet segments arranged on a frame of the rotor, the rotor defining an internal cavity radially inward from the plurality of magnet segments, an output shaft operably coupled to the rotor, and a stator having a support structure and at least one winding wrapped about a plurality of stator teeth. The stator teeth include inner teeth arranged on a radially inward side of the support structure and outer teeth arranged on a radially outward side of the support structure and the stator is arranged within the internal cavity of the rotor. At least one of the inner teeth, the outer teeth, or the support structure is formed from a non-magnetic material with embedded magnetic wires.

Magnetic nanowire components may be used in passive radio-frequency device allowing for smaller size devices, lower power consumption, and on-chip packaging potential across a wide range of technologies. A method for fabricating magnetic nanowire component electronic devices include depositing a conductive device pattern and transmission lines onto a substrate, aligning and securing a magnetic nanowire component to the device pattern, packaging the device with an insulation layer. Alternatively, the conductive device pattern and transmission lines may be deposited on the magnetic nanowire component, and the magnetic nanowire component may then be attached to a substrate.

The present invention relates to a magnetic-dielectric composite for a high-frequency antenna substrate, and a manufacturing method therefor, the composite comprising: a porous insulating dielectric substrate including an upper surface, a lower surface and lateral surfaces, and having a plurality of pores penetrating the upper surface and the lower surface; and soft ferrite nano-wires provided within the pores, wherein the soft ferrite nano-wires are encompassed by the insulating dielectric substrate so as to be separated from each other. The present invention controls a dielectric constant and can minimize eddy current loss by having a structure in which the soft ferrite nano-wires are provided within the pores of the insulating dielectric substrate and in which the soft ferrite nano-wires are encompassed by the insulating dielectric substrate so as to be separated from each other.

A nanoheterostructure includes a first inorganic component and a second inorganic component one of which is a matrix, and the other of which is three-dimensionally and periodically arranged in the matrix, and has a three-dimensional periodic structure whose average value of one unit length of a repeated structure is 1 nm to 100 nm.

Disclosed are functional materials for use in additive manufacturing (AM). The functional material can comprise an elastomeric composition (e.g., a silicone composite) for use in, for example, direct ink writing. The elastomeric composition can include and elastomeric resin, and a magnetic nanorod filler dispersed within the elastomeric resin. Nanorod characteristics (e.g., length, diameter, aspect ratio) can be selected to create 3D-printed constructs with desired mechanical properties along different axes. Furthermore, since nickel nanorods are ferromagnetic, the spatial distribution and orientation of nanorods within the continuous phase can be controlled with an external magnetic field. This level of control over the nanostructure of the material system offers another degree of freedom in the design of functional parts and components with anisotropic properties. Magnetic fields can be used to remotely sense compression of the constructs, or alternatively, control the stiffness of these.

A system for fabricating anisotropic magnetic nanowire composites includes a chamber for containing an ionic fluid. A hole in a wall of the chamber allows for the ionic fluid to be in contact with a porous template outside of the chamber, and a cathode and an anode provide an electric field across the ionic fluid and porous template. The electric field causes ionic materials in the ionic fluid to migrate into the pores of the porous template, therefore plating nanowires in the porous template. Constant distances and positions of the anode, cathode, a reference probe, and a stirring element allow for the fabrication of longer, more uniform nanowires, and for the generation of consistent magnetic nanowire composites across multiple fabrication sessions.
