The scientists created this 2D model catalyst material to study the ... "nanocages," the scientists exposed the 2D material to argon gas and measured the kinetic energy and number of electrons ...

These findings enable the study of individually confined noble gas atoms using surface science methods, opening up new opportunities for fundamental research. Here, we show that the aforementioned ...

and argon gas). The result of this unique electron structure is that all noble gases are remarkably inert and can resist chemical reactions even with incredibly reactive substances. In addition to ...

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 ...
