Old-fashioned light bulbs are filled with helium, argon or similar inert gases to hinder filament failure at these enormous temperatures. Tungsten filaments will always provide warm orange-yellow ...

New standards for light-emitting diode (LED) lightbulbs announced by the Biden administration last week will likely mean measurable savings for American households, but experts say the bulbs last ...

The Department of Energy, or DOE, announced Friday that it’s strengthening energy efficiency requirements for light bulbs in U.S. markets, in a move anticipated to save Americans $27 billion on ...

Ramsey delivered a lecture on argon, the newly discovered element in the atmosphere. Prof. Ramsey spoke fluently in excellent French. The general properties of argon having been previously ...

While changing light bulbs may be an easy job, finding the right one to screw into a lamp or light fixture can be confusing. From color temperature to brightness to smart capabilities, there’s a ...

While the vast majority of bulbs are meant for sunny locations, some are excellent candidates for the shade garden. Walking in my neighborhood the other day, I spotted the flowers of two bulb ...

Recently, ProtoDUNE has entered a pivotal stage: the filling of one of its two particle detectors with liquid argon. Filling such a detector takes almost two months, as the chamber is gigantic ...

VALUES which are fairly reproducible for the thermal conductivity K of an inert gas solid, argon, have been obtained over a range of temperatures from 2° to 25° K., corresponding to temperatures ...

This argon-filled detector will be crucial to test the detector response for the next era of neutrino research. Liquid argon is used in DUNE due to its inert nature, which provides a clean ...
