• Cosmology in the lab using laser-cooled ions
  ( Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) ) The principle of symmetry and its disturbance can definitely be investigated under controlled laboratory conditions. For this purpose, scientists from the Excellence Cluster QUEST at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt used laser-cooled ions in so-called "ion Coulomb crystals." They were able to show for the first time how symmetry breaking ...
