10mb .wmv showing the results of a fascinating experiment done by MIT student Cory Lorenz.
“As a project last summer, Lorenz collaborated with [professor of electrical engineering and computer science Markus] Zahn to explore the effects of time-varying magnetic fields on ferrofluids, materials Zahn is exploring for potential applications in nanotechnology” - from here
The ferrofluid morphs into beautiful spirals and patterns, transformed by the magnetic field. The experiments were done a few years back but the video is as astonishing as ever.
