The new dual-frequency Paul trap developed by physicists at JGU and Helmholtz Institute Mainz can capture heavy calcium ions or light electrons. A new type of radiofrequency trap can capture particles ...

The ALPHA experiment at CERN was designed to produce something rare on Earth -- antihydrogen -- and study how its properties compare to those of normal hydrogen. An offshoot experiment, ALPHA-g, has ...

A new type of radiofrequency trap can capture particles with extremely different requirements and could theoretically hold both types of particles at the same time. Researchers in the group of ...

At CERN, we probe the fundamental structure of the particles that make up everything around us. We do so using the world’s largest and most complex scientific instruments. Physicists and engineers at ...
