Xenon's discovery concluded an intense period of research on noble gases. Much heavier than neon and krypton, it had not been explicitly predicted, and was sufficiently rare to avoid chance ...

Scientists have developed a device that enables NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy, coupled with a powerful molecular sensor, to analyze molecular interactions in viscous solutions and ...

Four British climbers became the first to scale Mount Everest on Wednesday using Xenon gas, which helped them save several weeks that mountaineers need to get used to high altitudes, an official ...

British climbers recently reached the top of Mount Everest in record time. They inhaled xenon gas before the trip. But was that the decisive factor?

Noble gases have a reputation for being unreactive, inert elements, but more than 60 years ago Neil Bartlett demonstrated the first way to bond xenon. He created XePtF6, an orange-yellow solid ...

Anil Oza is STAT’s 2024-2025 Sharon Begley Science Reporting Fellow. You can reach Anil on Signal at aniloza.16. The gas xenon, like the other noble, or inert, gases, is known for doing very ...

The British climbers, who had inhaled Xenon gas in Germany before embarking on the expedition, climbed the 8,848 metre (29,032 feet) peak in less than five days after departing London, said Lukas ...
