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 detection.

Most people have never heard of xenon gas, and for good reason – it makes up just a tiny fraction of the air we breathe, specifically 0.086 parts per million. While this noble gas has been ...

An inert and unreactive gas may not seem like an obvious candidate for treating Alzheimer's disease, yet a new study in mice suggests that xenon might just be the breakthrough we need. Xenon is one of ...

One way to achieve this is by adding the noble gas xenon when manufacturing digital memories. This technology enables a more even material coating even in small cavities. The electronics of the ...

Xenon is a noble gas used in medicine as an anaesthetic. In low doses, exposure to xenon gas triggers the body's hypoxia, low oxygen, response. This tells the kidneys to produce erythropoietin ...

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 ...

have found that the noble gas may have other beneficial effects. In a trial featuring a mouse model of Alzheimer’s, scientists found that the mice who inhaled a mixture containing xenon gas ...

In an ion propulsion system, electrons are fired into a magnetic field containing the noble gas xenon. When a xenon atom is hit, it loses one of its negatively charged electrons and turns into a ...

Adding the noble gas xenon when manufacturing digital memories enables a more even material coating even in small cavities. This is shown by Professor Henrik Pedersen and his research group at ...
