WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — An early-career scientist from Purdue University has developed a novel method of measuring the temperature history of continental surfaces, a critical innovation considering ...

Today the periodic table is a familiar sight in science classrooms. It takes the 118 elements that compose everything in the known universe and arranges them so that substances in any given column ...

Noble gases are notorious for their extreme disinterest in bonding with other elements. For this reason, scientists have had to work hard to force gases such as argon into stable compounds (SN: ...

The six noble gases do not normally dissolve into minerals, leaving earth scientists to wonder how they are recycled back into the Earth. Now, researchers have discovered that the lattice structure of ...

For the first time, scientists have successfully trapped atoms of krypton (Kr), a noble gas, inside a carbon nanotube to form a one-dimensional gas. A new study of an old meteorite contradicts current ...

(This June 2 story corrects paragraph five to show that Russia accounts for 30% supply of three noble gases, not all noble gases) (Reuters) - Sanctions-hit Russia has limited exports of noble gases ...

Researchers from The University of New Mexico and Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a novel computational framework that addresses a longstanding challenge in statistical physics. During ...

The noble gases are the chemical elements in group 18 of the periodic table. They are the most stable due to having the maximum number of valence electrons their outer shell can hold. Therefore, they ...
