Its atomic radius is 0.248 nm and the (+1) ionic radius is 0.148 nm. In the solid state Rubidium has a body-centered cubic crystal structure with a = 0.562 nm and a nearest neighbor distance of 0.478 ...

Rubidium atoms can behave unpredictably during atomic collisions, especially when exposed to specific laser light. Researchers have now discovered that these tiny interactions can release unexpected ...

Exploiting the hyperfine structure in repulsive light ... This model could also be extended beyond rubidium atoms, helping to predict how other atomic elements might behave in similar situations.
