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.

Currently, the atmospheres of Uranus and Neptune have not yet been probed for their xenon concentrations. The experimental process: An illustration showing the experimental process Sanloup used to ...

Xenon is one of the inert or noble gases and is odorless, colorless, tasteless and chemically non-reactive. While not toxic on its own, its compounds are strong oxidizing agents that are highly toxic.

The paradox of the missing xenon might sound like the title of the latest airport thriller, but it's actually a problem that's stumped geophysicists for decades. New work from an international ...

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 ...

Mysteriously, most of the gas xenon that scientists expected to find in Earth's atmosphere is missing. Now, researchers say they might have the answer to this puzzle: This noble gas, which usually ...

It remains uncertain what effects, if any, these xenon compounds might have had on the evolution of Earth's core. "This needs to be more deeply analyzed," Ma said.

Xenon Exclusively Licenses to Merck Compounds for a Novel Target for Cardiovascular Disease VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 17, 2013 -- Xenon announced that Merck, ...

So, Lukáš Palatinus, Matic Lozinšek and colleagues wanted to test 3D electron diffraction on crystallites of xenon-containing compounds. The researchers synthesized three xenon difluoride–manganese ...
