break its dependence on China's rare earth materials?
A promising solution comes from Conifer, a startup
developing low -cost electric motors that use
ordinary iron instead of rare earth. Led by experts
from Lucid Motors and Apple, Conifer aims to
create an affordable, efficient alternative for
various applications, including scooters and
electric vehicles. Their innovative axial flux
motors are designed to deliver greater efficiency
while being easier to manufacture. With a global
market for two -wheelers projected to reach $218
billion by 2029, Conifer's technology could revolutionize
transportation and reduce reliance on costly
materials. Thunderbolts, the first Hollywood

marks the lowest opening for a Marvel film in
China in over a decade. Meanwhile, Nasia... too
has become a massive success, surpassing $2 billion
in ticket sales and ranking as the fifth highest
