Three-dimensional self-assembly of structures using the pressure due to a ferrofluid in a magnetic field gradient

We developed an inexpensive and simple system for three-dimensional self-assembly of micron-sized nonmagnetic particles into millimeter-scale structures using the differential pressure exerted by ferrofluids in the presence of magnetic field gradients. We demonstrate it by assembling separate indivi...
