Rubidium is one of the alkaline metals, as group one of the periodic table are otherwise known. The alkali metals have a single electron in their outer shell, which makes them highly reactive with ...

He’s made a real-time-clock module controlled by a rubidium frequency standard, and since it also includes a GPS clock he can track local time dilation effects by comparing the two. Surplus ...

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 ...

[W3AXL] picked up a rubidium reference oscillator on eBay at a low cost, and he shows us how it works in the video you can see below. He started with a GPS-disciplined oscillator he had built ...

Unfortunately, Robinson's results remain unpublished. As it turns out, rubidium is a member of a large 'family' of metals and other materials that tend to grow whiskers 5. In fact, tin ...

That estimate includes a high-grade zone of 1.3mt at 0.33 per cent rubidium oxide. Rubidium is highly reactive. It is used in vacuum tubes as a getter, a material that combines with and removes ...

A study led by Russia’s Skoltech and China’s HPSTAR suggests that rubidium and cesium additives could improve the efficiency of hydrogen batteries. Researcher Dmitrii Semenok tells pv magazine ...
