Do you like to rock out? Do you like to isolate atoms and bombard them with laser beams? An physicist/musician in England has figured out how to use guitar amps to conduct such experiments. Read all about it here. What I want to know is if you use a Spinal Tap amp, one of those cool jobs you can turn all the way up to "11," can you trap more atoms?
