Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - We take the infrastructure of the modern world for granted, assuming our satellites will always stay in orbit and our microchips will always shrink. But both of these futuristic industries rely entirely on a massive geopolitical bottleneck: Xenon.Xen…on is a noble gas so rare that it makes up less than one part per ten million in the Earth's atmosphere. It is the absolute optimal fuel for the ion thrusters that keep satellites from falling out of the sky. This book exposes the highly consolidated, energy-intensive B2B industry required to cryogenically distill this microscopic trace element from liquid air.We explore the brutal pricing volatility of the Xenon market, dictated by a handful of massive air-separation plants in Eastern Europe. The narrative dissects how the space race and the semiconductor industry are locked in a desperate bidding war for a resource that cannot be artificially synthesized.Understand the fragile chemistry holding up the digital age. Learn how the rarest gas on Earth became the most critical industrial commodity in space.
