OAK RIDGE, Tennessee, May 10 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued the following news release:
The last time this team used Oak Ridge National Laboratory's 3D scanning vibrometer, it was to measure a gigantic composite panel.
This time, they're measuring the vibration amplitudes of a cryogenic ion trap - around 10 nanometers, peak to peak.
"This is the first real test of the absolute limits of the machine," said . . .
