The situation is basically reversed with optical quantum computer using trapped ions.

Possible uses of this concept include its application in external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) using protons or ions.

Many household items use ions as well.

The experiment was initiated after the discovery of a yield enhancement during the synthesis of darmstadtium isotopes using nickel-62 and nickel-64 ions.

And, using trapped ions, some groups can even claim to have done the whole lot together.

In the latter, the material is sputtered or dissolved using reactive ions or a vapor phase etchant.

Particle therapy had already been performed in USA and Japan using protons, carbon, and other light ions.

MIT engineers develop a hearing aid battery which uses ions within the human inner ear to provide a steady electrical current.

This is an accelerator constructed for nuclear structure research using heavy ions, and it can produce exotic nuclei.

The promise of the Collider was that using heavy ions might--just might, no guarantees--for the first time cross a fundamental threshold.
