e-bay FerroFluid neodymium magnets lab science 10mL
You are bidding on 10mL of FerroFluid. This oily substance is made through the combination of very finely machined iron filings and special oils. When acted upon by a magnet, this rare fluid will create dazzling effects. When left alone, it looks like simple engine oil. This chemical is safe to handle as long as it is not injested. However, be warned that it does moderately stain many surfaces. Also, should you decide to place it directly on a magnet, it will be very difficult to remove the entire contents and to clean the magnet. Lastly, you should always wear safety googles and gloves when handling ferrofluid.

One of the officials told Reuters Wednesday that the Bush administration believed North Korea's activities "have effectively nullified the 1994 Agreed Framework," an agreement under which Pyongyang promised to freeze its nuclear program.
