Capturing Fast-Moving Ferrofluids On The Nanoscale

By Vision Research, Inc.

When you pass a magnet over the surface of ferrofluids, it begins to reach out with its gooey, spikey arms. A team of researchers at Juniata College is using a Phantom high-speed camera to study its unique, magnetic particles that have vast implications for future lab-on-a-chip devices. The camera helps them to see these too-small, too-fast reactions and capture their nanoscale behaviors.
