"What do you get when you suspend nanoparticles of iron compounds in a colloidal solution of water, oil and a surfactant?"Ferrofluids, Duhh!!!
Ah the worlds lightest ping pong ball, a great marvel indeed "Perfluorocarbons are fluids that contain pooloads of oxygen, making it possible to breathe liquid. They originally tested it back in the 60s on mice, with a certain degree of success... sort of." Very scientific

I'm surprised they didn't have sulfur hexaflouride on there. It's a gas that behaves like liquid water and it's invisible (doesn't distort light like water does, so you can't tell it's there). |

I like so many of those, but the author stumbled on one dangerous use of the carbon nano strands: incredibly dangerous, unbreakable and preactically invisible strands in the place of ordinary string for people to trip on. With the strands, if the people were running, the strands would cut straight through their legs.Have you seen the movie Ghostship? The first scene, the one on the boat? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, 'cept now the cable is invisible. |

Did anybody mention united nuclear for the ferrofluids? Buy the magnaview or whatever it's called. I have a bucket. Er...had. I miss my bucket.It's squishy when you poke it. Only near a magnet though. Stuff's cheap too. Magna View liquid is close to the bottom of this page |

The non-newtonian fluids... isn't that the corn starch with water stuff I used to make when I was little? It behaves a lot like that. |

I just LURVE the Journo's over at Cracked, the writing style is excellent. For example:Because we have a feeling that no matter what we say, some of your are going to try this, and that at least one of you, for some reason, will do it nude. (from the article about 5 Scientific Ways to Make Water Do Magic)

None of this "Defies the laws of physics" It is all pretty standard physics, just not normal every day stuff that we all think about. |

Why aren't memristors in this selection? Before the textbooks were rewritten, those things really *did* defy physics. Bah. |

The non - newtonian effect can be achieved using only instant custard, admitedly you do need an industrial cement mixer. |

"Sunglasses hinges that never break, toasters that get the toast right every time, TV remotes where the numbers don't wear off the buttons, ceiling fans that don't vibrate. Bags of chips that never get stuck in the vending machine. Carbon nanotubes will drating solve it all."

You can make that "liquid crap that turns solid" for about 97 cents plus the cost of water. |
