It is a liquid in which people have suspended some iron particles. By manipulating the magnetic fields around it, they can make it make those cool shapes.

*Ferromagnetic fluid

Hmm a fancier way to say that iron that is magnetic is suspended in fluid... I could have lived the rest of my life without that correction

[–]quiversound 4 points5 points ago

But it's good that you learned something new today. New knowledge in everyone helps move along scientific history.

Xenu is a fake doctor. Kind of like Dr. Phil, he doesn't REALLY have any credentials.

Doesn't the star suggest you're correcting him/her?

[–]McBinary 0 points1 point ago

Ferro Magnetic Liquid.

[–]Knife-Or-Banana 2 points3 points ago

Ferrofluid. It has iron in it, so it reacts to magnets.

[–]SGIMOP11 1 point2 points ago

This reminds me of a nightmare I had once.

[–]Killerbob101 1 point2 points ago

I've seen this in person, it's absolutely amazing to mess around with.

[–]Cookiemonsterkisses 0 points1 point ago

I wouldn't be able to resist sticking my hand on there.

[–]spases 0 points1 point ago

okay today i learned i really don't like the looks of ferromagnetic fluids doing the things they do...

[–]MarvinLazer 0 points1 point ago

Ferrofluid is one of the coolest things on the internet.

[–]Paradox621 0 points1 point ago

Ferrofluids are fucking amazing.

All I could think about was "Soy Sauce" from JDATE (the book, not the dating site).

[–]Weakest194 0 points1 point ago

So we finally made the black goo from Prometheus?

[–]classy_stegasaurus 0 points1 point ago

Magnets sure are fun!
