  • 3D-Printable Quadrupole Ion Trap

    3D-Printable Quadrupole Ion Trap

    Quadrupole ion traps can be used to trap electrically charged particles. At CERN, the GBAR experiment at the antimatter factory uses this particle trap to store anti-hydrogen-ions. Below you can find building instruction for 3D-printable quadrupole ion trap capable of trapping electrically charged “macroscopic particles” such as cinnamon of lycopodium spores. The trap uses an…
