I don't know for sure what this actually is but it looks so farkin cool!!!

Liquid Metal

I think it is supposed to be a couple of spirals with mercury or something like that being being spun through/out of them...but I'm not totally sure it's not just some fancy computer animation.

Either way it is quite beautiful to watch!!
Check it out.
What do you think?

It's definitely real. I saw this awhile ago. Its some kind of magnetic liquid i think. So organic, and totally alien at the same time. Amazing. Heres another vid.

Could be real. Back in my old silicon semiconductor days I used to work with gallium and it flows just like the metal in the vid. I assume they are using magnetic fields to make it flow. eye candy for sure.

I saw a similar video a while back of an art installation piece. They reffered to it as ferrofluid. I didn't re-watch the videos here... so they may have said that too. wikipedia has similar pics as well.

Indeed it is called Ferrofluid. Imagine of it as a suspension of magnetic particles in a liquid.Making the liquid itself is not very difficult, one needs a carrier solvent (can you find oil?) ,a surfactant sometimes for better fluidity, and easily found ferrous compounds.

For those "ready for action" here are three links :

How to Make Liquid Magnets

New way of making a ferrofluid. Cost only 1.00$!

Make your own ferrofluid in 5 minutes

Science Spot : Liquid Magnets

Some of the versions are easy and more or less by reading them one can grasp the basic concept behind them so he or she can experiment further!

The art shown on this thread is by artist Sachiko Kodama !

Fun stuff to watch for sure
Why can't the supernatural just be, natural? After all, supernatural is just a term for aspects of nature that we do not understand...
