cool chemistry

I am taking a Nanotechnology class at Rice and this week we made two super cool things!

1. Liquid nano-crystals that change color (they are what you find in crystal thermometers).

2. Ferrofluids (that are nanoparticles of iron that when close to a magnet form into the "shape" of the magnetic field caused by the magnet!)
