Dear Colleagues,
the August newsletter comes to you from sunny Arosa, this week’s world center of ion trapping. More than 180 registered participants at ECTI, confirm the interest of the ever growing ion trapper community to exchange and discuss about all aspects of ion traps. We look forward to splendid conference !
