What if a gas used in anesthesia became a weapon against Alzheimer's disease? A recent study reveals that xenon, a noble gas, could protect the brain by reducing inflammation and brain damage. This ...

The headlights on some cars seem brighter than before, and some have a blue tint. Why is this, and what advantages and ...

Xenon gas is already used in medicine as an anesthetic and medical imaging agent. Research has also suggested that xenon could help protect the brain, and some studies have experimented with using ...

Xenon gas can safely penetrate this barrier, passing directly from the bloodstream into the fluid surrounding the brain. The researchers used a mouse model of acute neurodegeneration to test xenon ...

Recently, the Financial Times released an article featuring a climbing company whose goal is to offer their clients the use of xenon gas to make acclimatizing safer and to cut down the length of ...

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

The Himalayas / Pritish Bhanushali - Unsplash Furtenbach points out that the use of Xenon gas contributes to a broad acclimatization strategy developed over years of pursuing faster expeditions ...

In this study, mouse models of Alzheimer's disease were treated with Xenon gas that has been used in human medicine as an anesthetic and as a neuroprotectant for treating brain injuries.

The scientists in this latest study used mice that have the same brain ... The scientists gave the mice xenon gas to inhale, which changed the state of their microglia. This altered state allowed ...

How to modulate microglia to treat Alzheimer's, however, has remained unclear. Xenon gas is a noble gas that can cross the brain barrier. It is used as both an anesthetic and a neuroprotectant for ...

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 ...
