The race for high-efficiency, low-cost solar is heating up. Scientists uncover surprising solution to major flaw in next-gen solar panels — here's what they found first appeared on The Cool Down.

Chinese scientists have created a new method to extract ultra-pure rubidium chloride from brine that contains small amounts of this metal. This is an important step forward for the country’s ...

Rubidium is a silvery-white and very soft metal — and one of the most highly reactive elements on the periodic table. Rubidium has a density about one and a half times that of water and is solid ...

We think of crystals as the gold standard of frequency generation. However, if you want real precision, you need something either better than a crystal or something that will correct for tiny error… ...

Rubidium is an alkali metal in group IA of the periodic table with atomic number 37, an atomic weight of 85.47, and a density of 1.53 Mg/m 3. Its melting point is 38.9 C, and it boils at 688 C. The ...

Rubidium is a soft, highly reactive silvery-white metal in the alkali group. The global rubidium market is expected to witness significant growth due to factors such as increasing demand for ...

Rubidium could be the next key player in oxide-ion conductors. Researchers have discovered a rare rubidium (Rb)-containing oxide-ion conductor with exceptionally high conductivity. Identified ...

Iulia Georgescu explains why rubidium is atomic physicists' favourite chemical element.

Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff discovered the element Rubidium in 1861 with the help of a spectroscope while analyzing a mineral called lepidolite. Properties and applications of rubidium are ...

Special setup uses polarized rubidium and xenon as transmitter and receiver system for exotic fields by Universitaet Mainz Editors' notes ...

A study led by Russia’s Skoltech and China’s HPSTAR suggests that rubidium and cesium additives could improve the efficiency of hydrogen batteries. Researcher Dmitrii Semenok tells <b>pv ...
