The observation of ionic distribution and the
investigation of magnetic particles on the lunar surface gives researchers information on the material that composes the moon's surface and helps elucidate the moon's interaction with solar winds.
In that portion of the plaster models the
orientation of the magnetic particles also matches the orientation of the minerals from Devils Tower: closer to vertical around the base and horizontal near the top.
Researchers at Argonne created tiny swirling vortices
out of magnetic particles, providing insight into the behavior that governs such systems — which opens up new opportunities for materials and devices with new properties.
For the 2012 Biennial, his subject is ferrofluid, a
mixture of magnetic particles suspended in liquid that is used in a wide variety of technological applications, including computer hard drives, audio speakers, educational tools, and military aircraft.
«The chains allow us to manipulate the polymer remotely as a soft robot by controlling a magnetic field that affects the
chains of magnetic particles,» Tracy says.
