Compressed 02: Time-Lapse Ferrofluid Moving in Soap Bubbles
What’s better than a regular time-lapse movie? Why, a macro time-lapse movie starring ferrofluid and soap bubbles, of course! Kim writes:
I combined everyday soap bubbles with exotic ferrofluid liquid to create an eerie tale, using macro lenses and time lapse techniques. Black ferrofluid and dye race through bubble structures, drawn through by the invisible forces of capillary action and magnetism.
Time-lapse sequences: Nikon D90, Nikkor 60mm macro lens and custom built intervalometer.
Motion-control: Arduino driven scanner platform and mirror rigs
Score: Ableton Live

Beautiful work!
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

Really stunning video. I wonder how a shaken solution containing the surfactant and ferrofluid would react to the addition of a magnetic field. Could well be fairly dull with the surfactant binding to the oil and the toner coming out of solution to form film or such I suppose but I’d be interested to find out!
