In my talk I will discuss the current trend of going to ever higher magnetic fields in magnetic resonance in general, starting with the well-known techniques such as NMR and MRI. The advances in technology will be presented using the examples of projects currently pursued at the NHMFL. In the more specific part of the presentation I will concentrate on High-Frequency and -Field Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (HFEPR). The advantages (and a few disadvantages) of performing HFEPR at frequencies approaching 1 Terahertz, and fields reaching 45 Teslas to elucidate correlation between magnetic, electronic and geometric structure of transition metal coordination complexes will be discussed.
