Noble Gases in Solid Compounds Show a Rich Display of Chemistry With Enough Pressure

In this review, we summarize the rapid progress that has been made in the study of noble gas chemistry in solid compounds under high pressure. Thanks to the recent development of first-principles crystal structure search methods, many new noble gas compounds have been predicted and some have been sy...
