  • Abstract
    Ferrofluids challenge the traditional discipline of electrical and electronics engineering. They combine electromagnetic phenomena with the physical and chemical phenomena of a fluid. They challenge the engineer to conceive of a material that acts as a magnetic solid at the same time it acts as a liquid.
