the magazine of the Royal Society of Chemistry. When William Ramsay named his newly-discovered element after the Greek Xenon for stranger, I'm sure he had no idea just how strange and important this ...

But Ramsey established their position between halogens and alkali metals, and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1904 for these elemental contributions. Xenon's discovery concluded an ...

A mix of equal portions of metal ion precursors on a film of graphene oxide (left) are subjected to a photoflash from a Xenon lamp. Heated to more than 1,000 K, the precursors transform into ...

The electronics of the future can be made even smaller and more efficient by getting more memory cells to fit in less space.

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 ...

This discovery is reported by researchers from XENON and PandaX — two scientific experiments that aim to detect dark matter, operating independently in Italy and China respectively.

The gas xenon, like the other noble, or inert, gases, is known for doing very little. The class of elements, because of its molecular structure, don’t typically interact with many chemicals.

Researchers from Lam Research, the University of Colorado Boulder, and Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) investigated ways to speed up the cryogenic reactive ion etching process for 3D NAND ...

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 ...

A groundbreaking study by researchers from Mass General Brigham and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has ...

This slows down the chemical reactions, but also often results in the material having poorer properties. By adding xenon, the researchers were able to use high enough temperatures to achieve ...
