NIST Physicists Built and Tested Device for Trapping Electrically Charged Atoms

Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have built and tested a device for trapping electrically charged atoms (ions) that potentially could process dozens of ions at once with the most versatile control of any trap demonstrated to date.

New Instrument Can Delicately Pull Chain of Atoms Apart

How hard do you have to pull on a single atom of-let's say-gold to detach it from the end of a chain of like atoms?* It's a measure of the astonishing progress in nanotechnology that questions that once would have interested only physicists or chemists are now being asked by engineers.
