The blaze inside Singas Famous Pizza in Flushing was the first fatal fire caused by a lithium-ion battery this year, FDNY ...

Trapping ions with static magnetic and electric fields instead of an oscillating electromagnetic field could make it easier to use ions as building blocks for quantum computers. The new approach, ...

Here we demonstrate the trapping of an ion by interaction with light. The lifetime in the optical trap is several milliseconds, allowing hundreds of oscillations in the optical potential, and ...

A new frontier for ion trapping. Shifting ion trapping from 2D to 3D has significant implications for the future of quantum devices such as sensors or quantum computers.

Posted: Sep 04, 2018: Ion generation and ion trapping in liquid crystals by means of nanomaterials (Nanowerk Spotlight) Nowadays, practically everyone is familiar with liquid crystal devices (just ...

Trapping charged particles with laser light Date: October 27, 2010 Source: Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics Summary: Scientists have demonstrated the feasibility of optical trapping for ions ...

We are also developing a method to integrate a photonic chip or photonic elements described above, and in parallel, we are constructing ion-trapping apparatus for a proof-of-concept integration of ...

New material shows promise for trapping pollutants UCSC chemists have developed a new type of material that can soak up pollutants from water. September 6, 2011 ... pollutants from water. The new ...

A small number of ytterbium ions could out-compute even the best superconducting quantum computers, a soon-to-be-published paper experimenting on the latest ion trapping quantum machines says ...

"A group led by Hans Dehmelt, a pioneer of ion trapping and a Nobel laureate [in 1989], once took a picture of a single barium atom in their lab," Nadlinger said.
