This shows ytterbium ions in an ion Coulomb crystal, taken with an EMCCD camera (electron multiplying CCD camera). The ionized atoms fluoresce in the laser light; the distance between the ions is ...
HD+ molecular ions (yellow and red dot pairs) in an ion trap (grey) are irradiated by a laser wave (red). This causes quantum jumps, whereby the vibrational state of the molecular ions changes. (Image ...
The sub-10 nm nanopores in the WO3 nanosheets created using single swift heavy ions. (Image: XU Lijun and ZHAI Pengfei) The team at the IMP set out to overcome these limitations by exploring an ...
