NIST scientists in collaboration with the University of California at San Diego, have recently identified earthquake-like disturbances in what had previously been considered to be stable nonneutral-plasma crystals. Such a crystal, confined in a Penning trap with its rotation locked to a rotating electric field, has potential applications in atomic frequency standards and quantum logic.
