What is Neon? Neon (Ne) is a gaseous element discovered in 1898 by William Ramsay and M.W. Travers. A colorless, odorless, and tasteless inert gas it emits a bright-red glow when conducting electricity in a tube. Neon is used in advertising signs, lasers, Geiger counters, particle detectors, and high-intensity beacons. Liquid neon is a cryogenic refrigerant.
