Cooling of single ions via tank circuit coupling
Inside Penning traps, ions can be stored by means of magnetic and electric fields in free space for basically infinite time. This provides an... [mehr]
Timing molecular structural dynamics both excited and probed by extreme ultraviolet light
The experiment was performed at the free-electron laser in Hamburg (FLASH), leading a large international collaboration of science teams. Two... [mehr]
X-ray double flashes control atomic nuclei
Modern experiments on quantum dynamics can control the quantum processes of electrons in atoms to a large extent by means of laser fields.... [mehr]
Measuring chirps at extremely high frequencies
Ultra-short intense light or laser pulses are an important tool in modern atomic and molecular physics. They allow not only a detailed... [mehr]
BASE opens up new possibilities in the search for cold dark matter
“BASE has extremely sensitive tuned circuit detection systems to study the properties of single trapped antiprotons. We realized that these... [mehr]
Another milestone in the search for neutrinoless double-beta decay
According to the final result of GERDA, the lower limit for the half-life of the neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ) of 76Ge is 1.8 ×... [mehr]
