Toured the TRIUMF particle accelerator in Vancouver BC, got to stand on top of a cyclotron. The magnetic field was strong enough to prevent paperclips from laying flat. It’s also where they store old focusing magnets (which become radioactive).

I also really love the look of those copper-wound quads. They lack the wizz-bang appeal of superconductivity but they're still plenty useful in beamlines, and they're friend-shaped!
