A new sensor detects helium leaks by monitoring how sound waves propagate through a topological material – no chemical ...

Ordinary matter, when cooled, transitions from a gas into a liquid. Cool it further still, and it freezes into a solid. Quantum matter, however, can ...

Researchers develop an innovative sound wave sensor to quickly and accurately detect elusive helium gas leaks, enhancing ...

Physicists have used a new optical centrifuge to control the rotation of molecules suspended in liquid helium nano-droplets, bringing them a step closer to demystifying the behavior of exotic, ...

Helium-3 discovery in Minnesota is sparking big energy claims, but the science, rarity, and real-world limits matter more than the hype around it.

At the Department of Ion Physics and Applied Physics at the University of Innsbruck, a research team has succeeded for the first time in storing electrically charged helium nanodroplets in an ion trap ...

In October 2025, drilling operations at depths between 2,200 and 5,100 feet in northern Minnesota uncovered something ...

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 ...

A rare form of helium buried under northern Minnesota is forcing energy planners to take a second look at what tomorrow’s clean fuel mix might include. Long treated as a speculative prize on the Moon, ...
