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 ...

UPTON, NY—Over the past few years, scientists have demonstrated how cage-like, porous structures made of silicon and oxygen and measuring only billionths of a meter in size can trap noble gases like ...

Below the Gran Sasso mountain, in central Italy, there’s a tank loaded with more than eight tonnes of xenon, a noble gas that is normally found in small traces in the atmosphere. In 2020, while the ...

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 ...

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), ...

The noble gases (historically also the inert gases; sometimes referred to as aerogens) make up a class of chemical elements with similar properties; under standard conditions, they are all odorless, ...

Superheavy element 114 should be a metal. Controversial data from an experiment in Dubna, Russia, suggest instead that effects from Einstein’s theory of relativity might make the element’s chemistry ...
