The use of helium in mechanical hard drives has revolutionized storage technology. But is it really the better choice for all applications?

Charge radius of Helium-3 measured with unprecedented precision Date: May 23, 2025 Source: Johannes Gutenberg Universitaet Mainz Summary: A research team has achieved a significant breakthrough in ...

Advanced technologies like superconductors and nuclear reactors require helium, but finding it isn’t easy.

The discovery that helium and iron can mix at the temperatures and pressures found at the center of Earth could settle a long-standing debate over how our planet formed.

The helium shortage is potentially deflating for a range of purposes: airbags, rocket fuel, MRIs, fiber optics, semiconductors, and, yes, balloons.

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 ...

A new BLM plan for western Colorado makes a priority of helium production, worrying environmentalists.

Is Helium mining still profitable? What is Helium mining? Helium mining is the mechanism that powers the Helium network to provide global wireless technology for Internet-of-Things devices.

Past missions have that have been affected by pesky helium leaks include ISRO's Chandrayaan 2 and ESA's Ariane 5. Why do spacecraft and rockets use helium, and what is so tricky about it?

New seismic data show that a helium reservoir discovered in February in northern Minnesota is larger than initial estimates indicated, inching the project closer to commercial extraction.
