Action of a Magnet on Ferrofluid - Cool! Posted by: NanoNerds
Video duration: 15 seconds This is a brief clip showing what happens to a ferrofluid when a magnet is passed close by. As you can see, this iron-containing fluid is no ordinary liquid...and it is being used in gel form to gently clean ancient art. Related: ferrofluid, nanonerds, nanoscale, nanotechnology |

Magnetic Nanoparticles Migrate through a Fluid Posted by: NanoNerds
Video duration: 39 seconds In this clip, a vial of magnetic iron nanoparticles in solution appears to contain an orange liquid. That "rust" color comes from the iron in these nanoparticles! When a magnet is placed next to the vial, the liquid slowly clears as the tiny particles are drawn out of solution.
