The race for high-efficiency, low-cost solar is heating up, as scientists discovered a potential way to improve one of the ...

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 mostly used in the high-tech industry in the United States, with 80% used in the construction of high-tech and 20% used in traditional fields including electronic devices, special glass, ...

A suitcase-sized quantum sensor could soon reveal hidden water, oil, and even underground mountains—all by tracking how atoms fall.

The clock uses a rubidium vapor lamp and a glass cell containing rubidium. A voltage-controlled oscillator excites the cell with a 6.8 GHz signal. Rubidium atoms can exist in three states.

A rubidium standard, or rubidium atomic clock ... But the Rb standard is comparatively inexpensive, compact, and widely used in TV stations, Mobile phone base stations and GPS systems and ...

DETECTION and determination of rubidium in cæsium nitrate by use of neutron irradiation followed by γ-scintillation spectrometry have been attempted. It is known that when natural rubidium is ...
