A team led by Prof. Zheng Tianlu and Prof. Wei Jiang from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), has developed a novel technique known as All-Optical Atom Trap Trace Analysis. In ...

For the first time, scientists have successfully trapped atoms of krypton (Kr), a noble gas, inside a carbon nanotube to form a one-dimensional gas. The behavior of atoms has been studied by ...

Scientists have successfully identified the age of 120,000-year-old Antarctic ice using radiometric krypton dating -- a new technique that may allow them to locate and date ice that is more than a ...

In 1,000,000 quarts of air there is one quart of krypton. An inert gas discovered in 1898 by Ramsay and Travers, krypton is scarcer and less volatile than argon, neon and xenon; its name means “the ...
