A model system for complex liquids with dipolar interactions has been synthesized [1]. The particles consist of a magnetic cobalt ferrite core embedded in a silica shell and have a narrow size distribution. They interact due to the charged silica surface via a screened Coulomb potential in addition to the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction of the core. The colloidal suspension is strongly opaque and thus cannot be probed by visible light scattering techniques. Therefore both, the static and dynamic behaviour of such a concentrated, liquid-like ordered dipolar suspension are studied by means of Small Angle X-ray Scattering and X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy without and in the presence of an external magnetic field [2]. The dynamics was probed over the Q-range of the static structure factor and shows even without magnetic field strong deviations from the Stokes-Einstein behaviour that can not be explained by the De-Gennes narrowing. The observed behaviour has to be attributed to indirect hydrodynamic interactions which are mediated by the suspending medium [3]. However, the hydrodynamic behaviour cannot be described by any of the available models for colloidal hydrodynamics. [1] T. Autenrieth et al., AOC 18, 520 (2004) [2] J.
