I use a 500MHz magnet on occasion. It works wonders. I'd recommend it to
everybody! Just this morning i used it to determine the structure of a
simple molecule- and it took just minutes until i had success!
Known as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance... also know as Magnetic Resonance
Imaging... aka MRI.  These magnets are liquid helium cooled (4K, or -269C)
and cost about half a mil.

with success with magnets!
