0 a chemical element that is a gas with no smell or colour, does not react with other chemicals, and shines red when an electric current goes through it:
1 a colorless gas, one of the chemical elements, that is often used in signs because it produces a bright light when an electric current goes through it:
a neon sign
In essence the problem of scaling long implosion times for elements above neon was making larger diameter plasmas implode with minimal instabilities and nonuniformities.
By using the code, we have investigated the lightning process of compressed neon gas that in a uniformly applied electric field.
A small neon fluorescent tube supplies the white bleaching light.
The list of 1934, for example, did not yet include neon sign-makers or television technicians, while needle and nail makers were still recognised trades.
With heavy ions like neon, this fragmentation can cause problems.
Here, we performed lightning simulation for compressed neon gas with a density of around 4.6 x 1020 cm-3 (17 times the ideal gas).
The ions are iso-electronic to neon or nickel, respectively.
The neon letters appear to hover just above an overgrown bed of varied plant life that virtually fills out the rectangular dimensions of the courtyard.
