Many grade school students perform a simple physics experiment by using iron fillings to outline a magnetic field. Seizing on their inner-child, physicists at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum ...

A silver deer snaps to attention in a desolate forest. No, this isn’t some strange new breed—the deer is made of iron fillings. This short film, titled “FERRO,” manipulates magnetic iron filings to ...

Iron fillings and ferrofluids are really cool to play with — hold a magnet under them and you get amazingly intricate pillars of metal. This atmospheric short film Ferro puts this concept to the test.
