Compressed, by Kim Pimmel…Follow this magnetized fluid through the capillaries of bubbles. Science and art, together, in a trippy video.
“I 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”
Self-Assembling Liquid Structures
Researchers put liquids that become magnetized in the presence of magnetic fields on a water-repelling surface to make these small self-assembling structures.
A team from Aalto University in Finland first put a stationary magnet under the puddle of the liquid, called a ferrofluid, to create simple structures on the hydrophobic surface. Then they started moving the magnet around, the changing magnetic fields causing the more complex structures seen above to form.
