In this system, damping is provided by electrorheological fluid whose viscosity changes millisecond by millisecond as a magnetic field affects
the magnetic particles suspended in it.
Ferrofluids are colloidal liquids made of nanoscale
magnetic particles suspended in a liquid.

Magnetic fields do not naturally heat
particles, Kankelborg notes: «If you take a magnet and
suspend it on your refrigerator, the sausages don't spoil.»
Magnetic Ride Control (with StabiliTrak and Brake Assist) Using magnetically charged
particles suspended in a synthetic fluid, the Lucerne's shocks continually adjust to varying road surfaces and driving conditions, this remarkable feature responds far faster than conventional valve - damping systems to provide the rare combination of exceptional twisty - road handling and silky smooth highway ride.
That weird, black stuff you see morphing above is called ferrofluid, a liquid saturated with
suspended particles that react in the presence of a
magnetic field.
