Summary

Featuring the most recent ground breaking research inspired by the work of Physics Nobel Laureate Hans Dehmelt, this monograph not only honours a great individual but presents a snapshot of current frontiers of physics. Offering entertaining, but expert description on areas like magnetic resonance imaging of patients' lungs, keeping time with the best clock known - a single atomic ion, measuring and calculating the magnetism of a single electron to parts per trillion accuracy and much more.
