Neon (Ne) is a colorless, odorless, and inert gas that is most commonly known for its use in lighting and advertising signs. It is a rare gas that makes up approximately 0.0018% of the Earth’s atmosphere. Neon was first discovered in 1898 by Sir William Ramsay and Morris Travers through the study of liquefied air.
In addition to its iconic use in signs, Neon has a variety of other applications. Due to its low reactivity, it is commonly used as a shielding gas in welding and other high-temperature industrial processes. Neon is also used in the medical field as a cryogenic refrigerant and as an indicator gas for testing the effectiveness of ventilation systems. In the scientific community, Neon is used as a plasma for scientific research, specifically in the field of plasma physics.
