Advantages of Dust

As we move from atomic to molecular ions, the number of electronic transitions increase, giving broader absorption lines.
At some point, we encounter bulk properties of the "cluster", leading to geometric absorption, Mie scattering, etc.
This material, >109 atoms, is generally referred to as "dust", and charged dust in the presence of a charged gas, is called "dusty plasma".
Q: Can we trap/hold a dusty plasma in our magnetic bubble?
