PHYSICS NEWS -


The Blob is here!

 
 
Remember that old movie The Blob?  Well, this will bring back memories, although the process moves at a much slower pace.
 
Magnetic putty eats everything in its path.  Filled with tiny ferromagnetic particles, it oozes towards objects containing traces of a certain magnet and gobbles them up!
 
The blob is infused with millions of micron-sized ferromagnetic particles.  It will slowly, very slowly devour any object containing neodymium iron boron.
