They were honored for devising ways of "trapping" single electrons and charged atoms known as ions. Paul, 76, won fame for fashioning a vastly improved ion trap. Dehmelt, 67, who studied with Paul as an undergraduate, used such a trap to observe a single ion. Illuminated by laser beams, the imprisoned ion glowed "like a little blue star," he recalled...
