Helium is an immensely useful element in advanced applications like superconductors, rockets, and even lighter-than-air aircraft, but it’s not exactly easy to come by. Recent discoveries of ...

This isotope is found at a ratio of about one per 2,500 helium-4 ions, the latter being the common version of helium. The sun just released a burst of a rare form of helium known as helium-3 (3 He).

All that helium-3 eventually is trapped as bubbles inside rocks scattered throughout the top layers of lunar soil, also known as regolith. If a company hypothetically harvested those isotopic gas ...

Formed under intense pressures, the newly discovered compound packs helium atoms into crystalline iron, researchers report February 25 in Physical Review Letters. The compound joins a short list ...

As (literally) a thousand DePIN projects bloomed in 2024, they could thank one decentralized physical infrastructure network in particular for showing the way: Helium. The original DePIN (before ...

The combined company will operate under the new name, "New Era Helium, Inc." and is set to begin trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols "NEHC" and "NEHCW" on December 9, 2024. On December 6 ...

Helium mining is the mechanism that powers the Helium network to provide global wireless technology for Internet-of-Things devices. Helium involves running a hotspot to provide coverage for ...

In recent years, China has been discreetly reducing its dependence on US-sourced helium – a rare and strategic resource widely used in medical and hi-tech industries, including semiconductors ...

Global helium demand is expected to nearly double by 2035. The semiconductor industry is projected to increase its helium use fivefold in the next decade. Helium is primarily obtained as a ...

Two NASA astronauts aboard Boeing’s Starliner will stay on the International Space Station for months because of a faulty propulsion system whose problems included helium leaks. Back on Earth ...
