Xenon (Xe) chemistry, and noble gas reactions in general, may not seem like a productive field of research; noble-gases are commonly written off as chemically inert. However, there has been growing ...

An international team of researchers has established stability of several oxides of normally inert xenon. These compounds are predicted to be stable at high pressures above 830,000 atmospheres, i.e.

(Nanowerk News) Berkeley Lab researchers have shown that tiny bubbles carrying hyperpolarized xenon gas hold big promise for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) and its sister technology, MRI (Magnetic ...

Satisfied with their full outer shells, noble gases are typically monatomic, indifferent to their peers. Despite their nonchalance, though, two of these gases have assisted humans in the far reaches ...

BERKELEY, CA -- Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California at Berkeley have developed a new technique for ...
