The first chemical compound containing a noble, or supposedly inert, gas was achieved in 1962. The chemistry of this rapidly growing class of compounds promises to shed light on the nature of the ...
The hot metal wires will burn away if any oxygen from air is present in the lamp. Argon, krypton and xenon are very unreactive. They replace the air inside the lamp, preventing the metal wire from ...
Like all noble gases, xenon is colourless, odourless and inflammable — but it is also more reactive, and much rarer, than its lighter relatives. Ivan Dmochowski ponders how xenon, though ...
Solid Noble Gases The simplest systems available for the study of a wide range of solid-state phenomena may be the crystal structures that are formed at very low temperatures by noble-gas atoms By ...
EDF said there was a build up of noble gases in part of the cooling system of the plant's number one reactor. The gases were collected and treated before being released into the atmosphere in ...
NASA's DAVINCI—Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging—mission embodies the spirit of innovation and exploration that its namesake, Leonardo da Vinci ...
