Noble gas chemistry has evolved remarkably since the seminal discovery of xenon compounds in the early 1960s. Once deemed completely inert, noble gases are now known to participate in subtle yet ...

For the first time, scientists have succeeded in the stabilisation and direct imaging of small clusters of noble gas atoms at room temperature. This achievement opens up exciting possibilities for ...

Noble gases have a reputation for being unreactive, inert elements, but more than 60 years ago Neil Bartlett demonstrated the first way to bond xenon. He created XePtF6, an orange-yellow solid.
