I has big cryomagnet at work
Wheeeee!
Drinks liquid helium like it's going out of fashion and can go to five Tesla. It also has a SQUID. I love my work.
AND
I just got evry episode of Monkey Dust sent to me! Woooooo!

I measure the magnetic properties of new compounds.
We've got the only one in Switzerland that regularly is used for chemistry (apart from the one at the EPFL). It means I collaborate like a Frenchman.
It's basically a generator. You have a coil and you move a sample in it, thus it generates an electric current. Except it uses superconductors everywhere and (in some models) can detect as few as ten atoms changing their state at a time.
But, for all of this, it's just two large boxes in my lab with a computer on it...

Ha!
Everyone at work thinks it's a magic box and that just by handing me the sample, the entire mysery of science has been solved.

In that case I'd like one photo of a potato, one of a balloon and one of Mila Kunis.
'Kay, thanks.
