A giant quantum vortex may allow researchers to study black holes. This vortex is an eddy in a special form of liquid helium that displays quantum effects. The result has some properties similar to ...

Charged helium nanodroplets stored in an ion trap for a full minute, 10,000x longer than before, open breakthrough ...

When theoretical physicists like myself say that we’re studying why the universe exists, we sound like philosophers. But new data collected by researchers using Japan’s Subaru telescope has revealed ...

A research team has achieved a significant breakthrough in determining fundamental properties of atomic nuclei. The team conducted laser spectroscopy experiments on muonic helium-3. Muonic helium-3 is ...

Finnish cryocooler manufacturer Bluefors has signed an agreement to secure a long-term supply of helium-3 harvested from the Moon. Yes, you heard right. No one has set up shop to mine on the moon and ...

GOLDEN, Colorado — Interlune, a Seattle-based company of former Blue Origin technologists, has set its sights on the moon’s supply of Helium-3 — a rare heavy isotope deposited into lunar regolith by ...

The Moon is no longer just a backdrop for human exploration; it is being recast as a colossal energy bank. At the center of that shift is helium‑3, a rare isotope that could power fusion reactors, ...

Helium is the simplest element in the periodic table with more than one particle in its nucleus, yet state of the art theory and experiments on it don't add up. When you purchase through links on our ...
