Ferrofluid research,close-up. A ferrofluid is a liquid mixed with small metallic particles that can become magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field. Ferrofluids are used in electronics,spacecraft,and medicine,but are also a fascinating way to visualize a magnetic field in three dimensions. A ferrofluid is known for having properties of two different states matter: liquid and solid. Whether it's a liquid or solid depends upon whether a magnetic fields is present. This ferrofluid is being studied at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL),New Jersey,USA. Photographed on 10 October 2011 | |
