Argon is an inert, colorless and odorless element — one of the Noble gases. Used in fluorescent lights and in welding, this element gets its name from the Greek word for "lazy," an homage to how ...

argon is not a noble gas anymore,” says Elissaios Stavrou of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Stavrou’s laboratory is part of small field trying to understand the chemical rules that ...

This idleness of argon finds many chemical and industrial uses, for example as a chemically inert atmosphere, in welding, food storage and insulating windows. Argon isotopes also serve in ...

Argon is an essential element for myriad industries, from automotive to semiconductor manufacturing. Argon is a colorless and odorless gas that is present in the atmosphere at a concentration of 0 ...

Researchers at the University of Helsinki in Finland report in the Aug. 24 Nature that the formerly aloof argon has been coerced into the chemical equivalent of a shotgun wedding. The scientists ...

A stable compound of the noble gas argon has been created for the first time ... believe their discovery brings us quite close to understanding the formation of chemical bonds of the rare gases (2000 ...

This is interesting because the low-radioactivity argon can be a major asset to our research, as it is a very nice element to use inside a low-background particle detector." Ultimately ...

the size of the lithium molecules is small enough to leave room for the nitrogen to be captured and for the liquid argon to flow free of contaminants. The chemical engineering branch of the ...

Argon Electronics will partner with Saab at I/ITSEC this year to showcase its simulators for chemical and radiological detectors. On the Saab stand, Argon will feature the JCAD-SIM and the AP4C-SIM, ...
