(PhysOrg.com) -- At 60 million rotations per minute, a two-dimensional sheet of graphene has become the fastest-spinning trapped macroscopic object ever. Graphene is known for its large strength, and it's this strength that ...
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have demonstrated an ion trap with a built-in optical fiber that collects light emitted by single ions (electrically charged atoms), allowing quantum information ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists in Australia and the US have discovered that trapped ions are "exquisitely sensitive" force detectors, and have used them to record the tiniest forces ever measured.
(PhysOrg.com) -- Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have built and tested a device for trapping electrically charged atoms (ions) that potentially could process dozens of ions at once with the ...
