| They would like to use their carborane acids to bind protons to atoms of the inert gas xenon. |
| For visible-light applications using halogen or xenon lamps, an aluminum-silicon-oxide coating is also available. |
| In the early 1960s, a number of chemists found ways of making compounds of some noble gases, including radon, xenon, and krypton. |
| Traditionally used in medical applications, the xenon lamp has evolved into a key component for digital projection for home cinema applications. |
| The momentary high voltage on the metal plate provides the necessary energy to ionize the xenon gas, making the gas conductive. |
| Plus, xenon happens to be a noble gas, which means it won't corrode or otherwise interact chemically with anything. |
