Ohio State University chemists and their colleagues at the University of Virginia have created the first-ever compounds of uranium bonded to atoms of three so-called "noble gases" -- argon, krypton, ...

The set-up looks rather unimposing to the uninitiated eye: a container, a satellite dish, a generator. Yet this container in the midst of lush green scenery some kilometres to the southeast of ...

When it comes to detecting neutrinos or particles of dark matter, four noble elements--helium, neon, argon, and xenon--stand out for their standoffishness. When it comes to detecting neutrinos or ...

Noble gas chemistry has evolved remarkably since the seminal discovery of xenon compounds in the early 1960s. Once deemed completely inert, noble gases are now known to participate in subtle yet ...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Geoscientists have detected specific gases being released from fractured rocks in real time after a series of small chemical explosions set underground. This fundamental research, ...

Translated from the German word Edelgas, noble gases commonly refer the six elements occupying the rightmost column of the periodic table: helium, helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), ...

Noble gases have a reputation for being unreactive, inert elements, but more than 60 years ago Neil Bartlett demonstrated the first way to bond xenon. He created XePtF6, an orange-yellow solid.

The electronics of the future can be made even smaller and more efficient by getting more memory cells to fit in less space. One way to achieve this is by adding the noble gas xenon when manufacturing ...
