Pulse: Magnetic Putty reminds us of Venom
by edit@cnet.com.au (John Chan)Magnetic Thinking Putty is Silly Putty with a twist. Aside from exhibiting standard characteristics such as being moulded and stretched, this version can be magnetised.
This means you can use a magnet to control the putty, creating the cool effect seen in the image above. It reminds us of Spider-Man’s nemesis Venom preparing to snare its next victim. This is possible because there are millions of tiny magnets embedded in the material, giving this blob its magnetic properties.
Online store Vat19 currently lists it as out of stock. The same product is also found on Firebox, which stocks a variety of other Thinking Putty products, some of which change colours according to temperature, while others glow in the dark.
