High-quality, single-crystal, ultra-cold solid helium exhibits supersolid behavior, suggesting that this frictionless solid flow is not a consequence of defects and grain boundaries in poor-quality, ...

The war cut off roughly a third of the world’s supply of helium, but the semiconductor industry so critical to AI systems didn’t even blink.

Helium is non-renewable. It is used in many areas of scientific research but demand is fast outstripping supply. We must adapt, and quickly. Scientists from a wide spectrum of disciplines use liquid ...

Watching helium gas lift balloons into the air is a lot of fun — or perhaps a tragedy if that balloon belonged to a small child who let it go. And, who hasn’t sipped the helium gas from a balloon and ...
