Infinitesimal Change in Mass of Individual Atoms Observed for the First Time

Superconducting 7 T magnet situated in the temperature controlled PENTATRAP lab. A team at Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg has successfully measured an infinitesimal change in the mass of an individual atom. PENTATRAP – is a novel cryogenic multi-Penning trap experiment for high-precision mass measurements on highly charged ions. PENTATRAP aims for …
