Able to cross the blood-brain barrier, Xenon gas seemed to perk the mice right up, which began to become particularly active ...

The headlights on some cars seem brighter than before, and some have a blue tint. Why is this, and what advantages and ...

The electronics of the future can be made even smaller and more efficient by getting more memory cells to fit in less space.

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 ...

The electronics of the future can be made even smaller and more efficient by getting more memory cells to fit in less space. One way to achieve this is by adding the noble gas xenon when manufacturing ...

Xenon is one of the six noble gases. Its name derives from the Greek word for “strange”. In medicine, it has been used as an anaesthetic since the early 1950s and, more recently, to treat brain ...

Xenon gas is already used in medicine as an anesthetic and medical imaging agent. Research has also suggested that xenon could help protect the brain, and some studies have experimented with using ...

Lukas Furtenbach explains why using Xenon to help climb Everest in a week is a new tool but is really no different than familiar aids like bottled oxygen.

In this study, mouse models of Alzheimer's disease were treated with Xenon gas that has been used in human medicine as an anesthetic and as a neuroprotectant for treating brain injuries.

Xenon gas can safely penetrate this barrier, passing directly from the bloodstream into the fluid surrounding the brain. The researchers used a mouse model of acute neurodegeneration to test xenon ...
