According to a report in New Scientist, the new shape-shifting mirror, developed at Laval University in Quebec, is made from a magnetic liquid – a ferrofluid – that can be easily reshaped using magnetic fields.

Ground-based telescopes currently use flexible mirrors with complex actuators underneath to correct for atmospheric distortion and keep a steady focus.
