Dual-frequency Paul trap shows potential for synthesizing antihydrogen outside of CERN

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.

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 Professor Dmitry Budker from the PRISMA++ Cluster of Excellence and the Helmholtz Institute at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) were able to trap calcium ions or electrons in the same apparatus.
