HID lights use Xenon gas and an enclosed filament to produce their light. The temperature rating of these lights can exceed 6,000 on the Kelvin scale, indicating a cooler temperature. Cooler ...

Xenon's polarizability (about 4 compared with 0.2 for He) contributes to its affinity for hydrophobic cavities in proteins, which is relevant not only for protein crystallography but also for ...
