What blobs of heated wax bubbling in a glass cylinder was to the ’70s, ferromagnetic fluid is to 2015. Kyle Haines, founder of Inspired Designs, says this is natural: ferrofluid and lava lamps are a ...
If you’re obsessed with ferromagnetic fluid–and hey, who wouldn’t be?–it’s a good time to be alive. The Ferroflow is an interactive desktop sculpture by designer Matt Robinson, who describes it as a ...
If we give you terms like Brownian motion, nano technology and ferromagnetic fluid, you'd probably brush them aside as complicated science terms, better kept under the lid. However, if we represent ...
Spinning around: these three ferromagnetic liquid droplets are each about 2 mm long and are being spun on a magnetic stirring plate. The orange dye reveals their rotational motions. (Courtesy: Xubo ...
A video demonstrating ferrofluids and its potential applications. Ferrofluids are composed of nanoscale ferromagnetic, or ferrimagnetic, particles suspended in a carrier fluid, usually an organic ...
Ferromagnetic fluid is great stuff, but it actually has more practical uses than simply dancing around whenever a magnet gets near. Researchers at Université Laval in Quebec are looking to use the ...
Gledhill stumbled across ferrofluids the way most anyone stumbles across anything these days: “Just searching the Internet,” he says. “People are fascinated by them, and a lot of people have used them ...
