The discovery that helium and iron can mix at the temperatures and pressures found at the center of Earth could settle a long ...

The surprise discovery that one of the lightest elements in the Universe can bind to iron under high pressure to form iron ...

The discovery that inert helium can form bonds with iron may reshape our understanding of Earth’s history. Researchers from ...

Normal helium, which is 700,000 times more common than helium-3, is called helium-4 because it has two protons and two neutrons. Whereas helium-4 is a common product of the decay of radioactive ...

This process, carried out at an optimal ratio of 1 part helium to 4 parts gas, improves combustion stability. Unlike other gases such as hydrogen, inert helium avoids instabilities while optimizing ...

Researchers from Japan and Taiwan reveal for the first time that helium, usually considered chemically inert, can bond with iron under high pressures ...

That is, helium which differs from normal helium, or 4 He, so called because it contains two protons and two neutrons and is continuously produced by radioactive decay. Primordial helium ...

Researchers from Japan and Taiwan reveal for the first time that helium, usually considered chemically inert, can bond with iron under high pressures. They used a laser-heated diamond anvil cell to ...

A startup company wants to establish mining operations on the moon to extract a rare isotope needed for future quantum ...
