  • I love rubidium, one of my favorite elements.

    Beautiful metal witch can be melted and solidify as amazing crystals.

    And a sample of Cesium and rubidium next to each other looks great. Gold and Silver when best.

  • Rubidium super atom, that is my strong point.

  • i like how the screensaver in the background bounces from one monitor to another.

  • didn't they use bose / einstein condensed rubidium in that laser trapping system to 'crystallize' light (stop it entirely)? and I think I heard about it being used in magnetometers, as a laser measured gas, to rival SQUIDs.

  • As a pyrotechnitian in search of improving my recipes, I would like to use Rubidium to impart a different hue into my flammable solid. I would like to start with Rubidium nitrate and perhaps produce some Rubidium chlorate and see where that goes. I have experimented with other elements to produce a desired effect. A Chlorine donor such as Parlon is preffered by me instead of PVC. Chlorine donors deepen the color of the flame.

  • You forgot about Atomic Clocks!

    They use Rb quite a lot.

  • bunsen didnt invted the bunsen burner it was one of his apprentice !!!!!!!!!
