Super-Magnet Sheds Light on Semiconductors
Stony Stevenson writes "A group of researchers at Florida state have demonstrated a magnet design that could shed new light on nanoscience and semiconductor research. 'The Split Florida Helix magnet can direct and scatter laser light at a sample down the centre of the magnet and from four ports on the sides. Due to become fully operational in 2010, the device can generate fields above 25 tesla. The highest-field split magnet in the world currently attains 18 tesla ... The scientists will be able to expand the scope of their experimental approach, learning more about the intrinsic properties of materials by shining light on crystals from angles not previously available in such high magnetic fields.'"
Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation.

Probaly not so well, but if they http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/11/02/1447228 genetically modify them like the mice in today's news it might not matter. Sooner or later we'll be able to:
