Ions captured in the spotlight

Nature Photonics, Published online: 31 October 2017; doi:10.1038/s41566-017-0036-9

Optical trapping of ions is relatively new and has been limited to a few milliseconds so far. Now researchers have trapped a single barium ion for several seconds, putting experiments with ultracold atoms and ions within reach.
