Elevated levels of lithium, rubidium and cesium have been detected ... The study sheds light on the potential water quality ...

Rubidium has a density about one and a half times that of water and is solid at room temperature, although the metal will melt if it's just a bit warmer, according to Chemicool. Like the other ...

Essentially, the rubidium atoms "clung" to the mica's surface similarly to how lint clings to clothing. The strength of the clinging behavior was determined mainly by how many water molecules were ...

Using their newly invented spectroscope to investigate the composition of a variety of samples they came across new elements: first caesium (Cs) in mineral water and then rubidium in the mineral ...

Rubidium could be the next key player in oxide-ion conductors. Researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo have discovered ...

Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff discovered the element Rubidium in 1861 with the help of a spectroscope while analyzing a mineral called lepidolite. When the mineral was heated, Bunsen and ...

“Our discussions then progressed to involve the extraction of rubidium, with lithium as a by-product.” Traditional mineral processing is very energy and water intensive, using a leaching ...

Traditional contaminants were not found in nearby water, although elements such as lithium and rubidium were. An aerial view of a former lithium mine located west of Charlotte, North Carolina.
