There's something inherently pleasing about things that match – from matching pillows on a couch to matching paintings on either side of a room. These elements create a sense of cohesion, balance, and ...

The picture shows ytterbium ions in an ion Coulomb crystal, taken with an EMCCD camera (electron multiplying CCD camera). The ionized atoms fluoresce in the laser light; the distance between the ions ...
