- 1Physicists release schematic of a highly charged ion▼Figure 1: Schematic of a highly charged ion (IMAGE)
A schematic diagram illustrating a highly charged ion has been made public through a physics news release, offering a visual representation of the atomic system. Highly charged ions, in which atoms are stripped of many electrons, are a focus of precision research into fundamental physics, including tests of quantum electrodynamics and the search for new physics. No further details about the research or its authors were provided in the release.
