Ferrofluid in a Magnetic Field.



Ferrofluid is a liquid which becomes strongly magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field.

Ferrofluids are colloidal liquids made of nanoscale ferromagnetic, or ferrimagnetic, particles suspended in a carrier fluid (usually an organic solvent or water). 

Each tiny particle is thoroughly coated with a surfactant to inhibit clumping.
