Ingo Dierking and colleagues from the University of Manchester, UK, explore how ferrofluids, when dispersed in liquid crystals, form unique droplet chains with magnetic functionality. These chains, stabilized with surfactants, can be precisely controlled with external magnetic fields. By examining the formation, movement, and stability of these chains they aim to innovate materials with potential applications in advanced technology. What did you do?
