Noble gases are notorious for their extreme disinterest in bonding with other elements. For this reason, scientists have had to work hard to force gases such as argon into stable compounds (SN: ...

Scientists have created the first stable compound to contain atoms of argon, an unreactive gas, the journal Nature reported Wednesday in London. “This is a … milestone in chemistry,” said a German ...

Ohio State University chemists and their colleagues at the University of Virginia have created the first-ever compounds of uranium bonded to atoms of three so-called "noble gases" -- argon, krypton, ...
