Xenon, one of Earth's rarest and most mysterious gases, has left scientists puzzled for decades. They've long thought that the Earth's atmosphere should contain more of the noble gas, but new research ...

Anil Oza is a general assignment reporter at STAT focused on the NIH and health equity. You can reach him on Signal at aniloza.16. The gas xenon, like the other noble, or inert, gases, is known for ...

Last week a quartet of British climbers made it to the top of Mount Everest—and spent less than a week on the total round trip from London. That’s weeks fewer than it usually takes to acclimate to the ...

Inhaling xenon gas reduced neuroinflammation and brain atrophy while increasing protective neuronal states in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease, found a new study. The findings were published in ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have discovered how two-dimensional cages trap some noble gases. These cages are only nanometers, or billionths of a meter, thick. They can trap atoms of argon, krypton, ...

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 ...
