 Testing the limits of the standard model of particle physics with a heavy, highly charged ion

Nature, Published online: 04 October 2023; doi:10.1038/d41586-023-02620-7Quantum electrodynamics, the archetypical theory of electromagnetic interactions, describes the behaviour of charged particles and photons using quantum field theory. Measuring the g factor of a bound electron in a hydrogen-like tin ion (118Sn49+)... #press
