THE discovery of krypton and neon was announced ... that we had obtained a gas with a spectrum differing from that of argon and yet of approximately the same density; to this gas we gave the ...

1904: Lord Rayleigh (John William Strutt), "for his investigations of the densities of the most important gases and for his discovery of argon in connection with these studies." 1903: Antoine ...

You all know the end of the story: finally argon was discovered, a new chemical element which had lurked undetected, mixed with the nitrogen. But the story has a sequel which forms my second ...

Then efforts were made to find argon in mineral substances; certain minerals that were supposed to give off nitrogen on heating were heated in vacuous vessels and thus helium was discovered.

We know today this must have been helium. After the development of the ... in the 1870s and the discovery of argon and helium, Ramsay realised there were even more spaces left blank in that table ...

Mars, once a planet teeming with vast amounts of water, is now a dry, desolate landscape. The evidence for this ...

In this way, Ramsay wrote to Rayleigh : "We may discover a new element". In fact, they discovered Argon, and Ramsay went on to discover an entirely new class of gases. In 1904, he was awarded the ...

This led to Rayleigh's discovery of the chemically inert element, argon, to his 1904 Nobel Prize in physics, and to the discovery of all the 'rare' gases. Debate over the nature of Roentgen rays, is ...

Scientists simulated a nuclear explosion using x-ray pulses to push an asteroid-like rock away in space-like conditions.

He called this The Law of Octaves, drawing a comparison with the octaves of music. The noble gases (Helium, Neon, Argon etc.) were not discovered until much later, which explains why there was a ...

"Furthermore, we unexpectedly discovered that the cascaded superfluorescence ... we investigated this problem by first mixing ...

As the nation continues to build a diverse, clean-energy workforce, the Department of Energy (DOE) today announced that ...
