I wonder how many things have been discovered because someone just ‘wanted to see what would happen’.

I’m just surprised that someone in college is actually doing REAL research.

discoveries, is not “Eureka!” (I found it!) but “That’s funny ...”

Outstanding. I had a chemistry set when I was a kid. I liked nitric acid, sulfuric acid and glycerin. Stir gently!

nvm... I read it again... They dontt even know...
The team has yet to identify a practical application for the unexpected discovery, but they anticipate its influence on soft-matter physics.

“Because you can engineer all sorts of interesting materials with useful properties when a fluid contains magnetic particles,” says Raykh. “And, in a complete surprise, the mixture formed this beautiful, pristine urn-shape.”One of the things done with magnetic particles suspended in oil is GM's MagneRide suspension.
The shock pistons have an electromagnet wrapped around them that are connected to the suspension computer.
Varying the strength of the magnetic field changes the viscosity of the shock oil which alters the shock rate.
The first car GM put this on was a 2002 Cadillac STS. In 2003, Corvette got the MagneRide, and it's been an option ever since.
GM licensed the technology to many auto manufacturers, including Ferrari, Audi, Lamborghini and even Ford.

Maybe it’s because I only skimmed the article, but it seems there was no “bending” of the laws of thermodynamics.
