After ionization, the ions travel through air into the atmospheric pressure interface which is connected to the mass spectrometer.

In 1853 Hittorf pointed out that some ions traveled more rapidly than others.

The ions travel through the electrolyte to the cathode.

These ions travel at a constant average velocity termed the drift velocity.

In a quadrupole detector, a voltage is produced which makes ions of a specific mass to travel to the detector.

The ions then travel through a magnetic field, which diverts them into different sampling sensors, known as "Faraday cups", depending on their mass and level of ionization.

The channels tend to be ion-specific, although similarly sized and charged ions may sometimes travel through them.

Those ions travel more slowly, at a small fraction of light speed.

Ion channels are integral membrane proteins with a pore through which ions can travel between extracellular space and cell interior.

The ions travel through the solution and deposit on the cathode.
