I have been searching from the bottom to the top for such a sight As the one I caught when I saw your fingers dimming the lights Like your used to being told that you're trouble And I spent all night stuck on the puzzle

Stuck on the Puzzle - Alex Turner

Over the last 4 million years,

the Earth's polarity has faded to about 25% its strength and then returned to full power - but with the north and south poles reversed - 9 times. In Earth's entire history, this has happened hundreds of times.

Magnetic Fluid

Has both fluid and magnetic properties often called ferrofluid. Ferrofluid grains carry a coating of the host liquid, which can be colored for water-based ferrofluids and hence the system may potentially be used to design a nozzle-free inkjet printer. For ferrofluid grains of typical diameter of about 100 Angstroms, the proposed system could lead one to develop inkjet printers with dot sizes that are less than 200 Angstroms and hence to a printing system of unparalleled resolution. http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2000APS..M… Changing the alkali metal hydroxide used in the preparation of the starting material can significantly change the color of the ferrofluids. The use of Li, K, Rb, Cs and ammonium hydroxides instead of NaOH causes the ferrofluids to go from lighter to darker red through a significant shift in the optical absorption edge of the nanocrystalline ë-Fe2O3. The optical transparency of the nanocrystalline ë-Fe2O3 along with the relatively high initial permeability, magnetization and stability of the ferrofluids also enables the existence of machine-usable colored magnetic inks at room temperature. To our knowledge, nanotechnology has been the only approach to successfully provide simultaneous color and magnetism in the same material at room temperature. http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cach… [ http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110503101836AACnAiu ]

Superconducting Magnetic Levitation

A flux-pinning enhanced superconducting puck levitates above and is pinned to a magnetic figure-8 track. This demonstrates the quantum physical effect of superconductivity and the Meissner Effect as well as magnetic flux pinning.

Quantum Levitation

Tel-Aviv University demos quantum superconductors locked in a magnetic field (www.quantumlevitation.com). For an explanation of the physics behind this demonstration, visit www.quantumlevitation.com/levitation/The_physics.html.

Magnetic Liquid

Magnetic Liquid...in Liquid

[motionidentity-blog]

Combined everyday soap bubbles with exotic ferrofluid liquid to create an eerie tale, using macro lenses and time lapse techniques. Black ferrofluid and dye race through bubble structures, drawn through by the invisible forces of capillary action and magnetism.
