▼ For the first time, scientists have created a permanently magnetic liquid. These liquid droplets can morph into various shapes and be externally manipulated to move around, according to a new study.
We typically imagine magnets as being solid, said senior author Thomas Russell, a distinguished professor of polymer science and engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. But now we know that "we can make magnets that are liquid and they could conform to different shapes — and the shapes are really up to you."
The liquid droplets can change shape from a sphere to a cylinder to a pancake, he told Live Science. "We can [even] make it look like a sea urchin if we wanted."
Russell and his team created these liquid magnets by accident while experimenting with 3D printing liquids at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (where Russell is also a visiting faculty scientist). The goal was to create (▪ ▪ ▪)

Great work by the scientist and hopefully in future we may have great uses of this type of liquid magnets. With liquid magnets I believe we can have shape changes dynamically. Hopefully we can create Terminator T-1000 like robots in the near future. We can also create shape shifting equipment's. It can take the human race to another level.
