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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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), ...
