Xenon is an inert gas in group VIII A of the periodic table with atomic number 54, an atomic weight of 131.3, and a density of 3.06 Mg/m 3. In the solid state it forms an fcc crystal with a melting ...

An exotic and extremely rare nuclear decay that involves the simultaneous capture of two atomic electrons by a xenon-124 nucleus has been observed in a dark-matter detector. Physicists in the XENON ...

However, the results came out too crude, and we decided to extend the samples to 6 particles to examine whether Xenon has a fixed triaxial structure or its shape is changing,” says You Zhou.

A collaboration of seven physicists from Italy, France, Germany, and Russia chose to perform their study on xenon—the element previously used to resolve mysterious features in the atomic ...

The present volume of Atomic and Plasma–Material Interaction Data for Fusion presents the results of a coordinated research project (CRP) on Atomic Data for Heavy Element Impurities in Fusion Reactors ...

To measure the van der Waals forces, scientists in Basel used a low-temperature atomic force microscope with a single xenon atom on the tip. They then fixed the individual argon, krypton and xenon ...

The half-life of xenon-124 — that is, the average time required for a group of xenon-124 atoms to diminish by half — is about 18 sextillion years (1.8 x 10^22 years), roughly 1 trillion times ...

The weaker long-range residue of the strong force, in turn, binds nucleons into atomic nuclei. For example, this residue binds together the 124 nucleons (54 protons and 70 neutrons) of a xenon-124 ...
