A fluid in which fine particles of iron, magnetite or cobalt are suspended, typically in an oil. A ferrofluid is superparamagnetic and can create liquid seals held in position by magnetic fields .
NASA has experimented using ferrofluids in a closed loop as the basis for a spacecraft's attitude control system. A magnetic field is applied to a loop of ferrofluid to change the angular momentum and influence the rotation of the spacecraft. This Liquid Magnet also can be used for cancer detection , used to form liquid seals around the spinning drive shafts in hard disks, etc . .
. . or you can use this liquid to give a pranks , like Freak Encountered do . . :) i used to watched that episode and get more interested in this liquid :)
