If a WIMP interacts with a xenon atom, a tiny amount of light should be emitted and the sensors will capture it. But in order ...

They are hoping to see dark matter particles collide with a xenon atom – an event that should put off enough light to show up on the photosensors. PandaX-4T team member Ning Zhou says they are ...

Xenon's polarizability (about 4 compared with 0.2 for He) contributes to its affinity for hydrophobic cavities in proteins, which is relevant not only for protein crystallography but also for ...

In an ion propulsion system, electrons are fired into a magnetic field containing the noble gas xenon. When a xenon atom is hit, it loses one of its negatively charged electrons and turns into a ...
