Ferrofluids

As we have seen in the previous post, fluids don't always have the same behavior. Non-newtonian fluids aren't so popular, but how about if we think about magnetic properties and we try to apply them to a fluid? We will obtain a ferrofluid. This material acts as a liquid, but at the same time, if it's close to a magnet it will have magnetic properties. Beautiful sculptures have been made through this material.

Here we can see a video showing some of these sculptures moving. It is called ""Morpho Towers -- Two Standing Spirals" by Sachiko Kodama and Yasushi Miyajima
