University of California, Berkeley, physicists can now tune in to and hear normally inaudible quantum vibrations, called quantum whistles, enabling them to build very sensitive detectors of rotation ...

Primordial helium from the beginning of the solar system may be stuck inside Earth's solid core, new research suggests. The ...

A giant, gaping hole that opened up in the Sun's atmosphere has been identified as the source of a surprising abundance of a rare isotope of helium. In late October 2023, the Sun was recorded belching ...

According to the firm, its latest discovery "exceeds any previously reported by other helium explorers". Laboratory results from its Jetstream-1 well, part of the Topaz project in Minnesota, have ...

The feasibility of moon mining is not yet proven, but the future of supercomputing may depend on the ability to extract ...

When people hear of a helium leak, they likely imagine a comical scenario involving party balloons and high-pitched voices. Yet scientists from the California Institute of Technology and the Woods ...

A free neutron outside a nucleus is not stable. It undergoes beta decay at a probability. Over time, the number of free neutrons decreases exponentially at a time constant, which is called the neutron ...

For the first time, researchers from the PRISMA + Cluster of Excellence have determined the charge radius of helium-3 and thus also the exact difference to the radius of helium-4. This precision ...

Toronto, Ontario (CTV Network) — A global helium shortage that began last year continues today and could continue well into next year and disrupt various helium-reliant industries in different ways, ...

Helium-3 is one of the rarest and most valuable isotopes on Earth, with reported prices of up to US$18.7 million per kilogram, more than 100,000 times the price of common helium (helium-4). Against ...
