Ferrofluid Fun (by Felice Frankel, MIT)
Have you ever seen a liquid magnet? If magnetic material is ground into an extremely fine powder, with a particle size of about 10 nanometers (see Nanoguitar for more information on length units), and suspended in a liquid, the resulting magnetic suspension is called a ferrofluid.
