The scientists could observe spatially resolved the molecule with the help of a self-build ion microscope. When single particles like atoms and ions bond, molecules emerge. Such bonds between to ...

Chemical reaction: the magneto-optical trap used to study hypermetallic alkaline earth oxides A magneto-optical trap has been used by physicists in the US to study how ions and atoms interact to ...

Keeping cool: artist’s impression of how atoms (red) are held in place with laser beams and the ion (blue) with electric fields. (Courtesy: University of Amsterdam) A new technique that allows ...

A recent column on hydrogen water brought a well-deserved slap on the wrist from two experts. Rodney H. from Texas writes ...

(Nanowerk News) A team led by Prof. Dr. Tobias Schätz, Professor of Atomic and Quantum Physics at the Institute of Physics at the University of Freiburg, Dr. Pascal Weckesser, Fabian Thielemann and ...

Copper selenide (Cu₂Se) attracts scientific interest for its thermoelectric ability to convert heat into electricity, but a lack of atomic-level understanding has limited its practical applications ...

The University of Maryland has created the largest quantum simulation using 53 trapped-ion qubits. It is the largest quantum simulation ever performed with high- efficiency single-shot measurements of ...

We may earn a commission from links on this page. A new device uses optical fibers to measure light from individual ions. Since these charged atoms store quantum information, this ion trap could allow ...

In a recent paper 1 we gave an account of some experiments on the determination of the mobility of ions in helium gas at a pressure of 360 mm. of mercury. We found that the mobility of the positive ...

When single particles like atoms and ions bond, molecules emerge. Such bonds between to particles can arise if they have for example opposite electrical charges and hence attract each other. The ...

A team has demonstrated magnetic Feshbach resonances between a single barium ion and lithium atoms at near absolute zero temperature. The researchers found that depending on the strength of the ...
