Xenon, a rare gas present in small amounts in the Earth's atmosphere. Because it is colorless, you will not see it; nor can you smell or taste radon. It is rare and difficult to extract, however it has several pivotal applications that assist us greatly across many fields. Xenon, one of the better uses well-known to everyone is lighting. Xenon is commonly used in LUMI LUMI Solar Emulator Xenon Lamp. It has several applications such as in cinema projectors, car headlights and arena lighting etc. They give off a light that is basically ultra-white, and looks far too close to daylight for our own good: doing their best work when we just can't see well enough in the dark.

 

Xenon is used not only in lighting, but also as a component of special machines — in particle accelerators. These machines are used by scientists to explore microscopic components-or particles-that create all the objects in space. Then they are very small, much smaller than we can see with our eyes. This allows scientists to accelerate the tiny particles in order investigate them more precisely and understand how they operate.


Illuminating Discoveries

Using xenon in research has shown scientists a lot of interesting things. Perhaps one of the coolest findings was in the 1960s when scientists stumbled upon what they called a xenon anomaly. An anomaly is an exception: something that is not normal, predictable, or well-proven. In this instance, they discovered that there was too much xenon-136 in the air. The finding was so unexpected that it got them thinking, what had caused this?

 

The researchers then found evidence pointing to a supernova that exploded near Earth perhaps millions of years ago. A supernova occurs when a star explodes, and is one of the largest worst explosions that can take place in space. This newly born xenon-136 went flying off into space, where it managed to eventually land on Earth and become part of our atmosphere. This breakthrough discovery helped scientists understand how the universe comes together and just where some of its elements, such as xenon for instance, develop.
