Pentagon Backs Startup Producing Metal for Critical Magnets
Original: Pentagon Invests in Startup Aiming to Supply Metal for Critical Magnets
The Pentagon has invested in a startup working to supply the metal used in critical magnets, a material vital for weapons systems, electronics and clean energy technology. The move reflects growing US concern over reliance on foreign supply chains, particularly China, for rare earth and magnet materials, and has drawn attention as Washington pushes to build domestic production capacity.
Why now: US concern over dependence on foreign supplies of rare earth and magnet materials is driving defense investment in domestic producers.
