Optical trapping of an ion

It is well-known that neutral atoms can be trapped using visible light, but the trapping of ions is typically achieved using radiofrequency electromagnetic fields. Researchers have now developed an optical ion trapping technique that may be useful for applications ranging from quantum physics to ultracold chemistry.
