Argon is a gas that makes up 1 percent of our atmosphere. Until now, argon atoms have been complete loners. In today's issue of Nature, chemists reveal a method to make chemical bonds between ...

A molecule containing a noble gas has been discovered in space. The molecule, argon hydride, was seen in the Crab Nebula, the remains of a star that exploded 1,000 years ago.

Yet tremendously high heat and pressure can bring out chemical traits never seen before. ... added argon gas, and squeezed the diamonds together. Once the pressure reached 140 GPa, ...

Then that argon ion can steal a hydrogen atom from a hydrogen molecule (H2) to create argonium, ArH+, because the hydrogen atom is more attracted to the argon ion than to its hydrogen mate.

In the nebula’s argon-rich gas, Barlow and his colleagues spotted two unidentified spectral lines. One was the same mysterious line everyone else had been seeing at 485 microns; the other had ...

The launch of the Herschel Space Telescope in 2009 finally allowed scientists to identify a type of noble gas molecule in ...

Argon gas is by far the most common of the noble gases. It can be readily obtained through the cryogenic distillation of air as it makes up around 0.9% of Earth’s atmosphere. Argon is, therefore, the ...

Kuwait University researchers investigated the relationship between the molecular weight of the quenching gas and the morphology of perovskite films used in solar cells, finding that argon and ...
