COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State University chemists and their colleagues at the University of Virginia have created the first-ever compounds of uranium bonded to atoms of three so-called "noble gases" -- ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have discovered how two-dimensional cages trap some noble gases. These cages are only nanometers, or billionths of a meter, thick. They can trap atoms of argon, krypton, ...

Argon, krypton, xenon, neon, helium and niton are called ”the noble gases” because, like supercilious bluebloods, they disdain to enter into chemical compounds with other substances. As long ago as ...

Chemists in the U.S. have created compounds with uranium and three "noble gases," which don't normally form compounds at all. The Ohio State University scientists found they could combine argon, ...

Felice Grandinetti ponders on the peculiarity of neon among the noble gases — and whether it should occupy the top-right position in the periodic table. The noble gases — helium, neon, argon, krypton ...

One of the most inert substances in the world has been persuaded to take part in the chemistry of life. Leonid Khriachtchev at the University of Helsinki in Finland and his co-workers have made an ...
