Hi all,

I was recently assigned a research project in which I have to carry out an undergraduate-level research project related in some way to physics. I was mainly looking for something related to ferrofluids, but it's a hard topic to find good information on.

I know ferrofluids can be applied medically, either as carriers for drugs or as a way to kill tumors. I was wondering if there was any way to do any further research on this.

Can anyone give me some suggestions for research topics? Even if it's not related to ferrofluids, any topic helps.

Thanks.
