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

For decades, noble gases like helium have been considered chemically inert, refusing to form stable bonds under normal conditions. But new research challenges this assumption, revealing that 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 ...

Our planet’s core is made mostly of iron, but it might also contain primordial helium that formed just after the Big Bang. Helium normally has trouble bonding with other elements, but researchers were ...

Evans found that the 4686 series and the Pickering series can be obtained in a helium spectrum showing no trace of the ordinary hydrogen lines. These series were observed a few years ago by Prof.

Hydrogen nano-clusters at low temperatures display 'superfluidity'—a quantum state of frictionless flow only previously observed in helium. The new research is published in Science Advances by ...

Iron can form compounds with helium at pressures as low as 5GPa – about 50,000 atmospheres – researchers in Japan report.

Researchers from Japan and Taiwan reveal for the first time that helium, usually considered chemically inert, can bond with iron under ... from the solar nebula of hydrogen and helium that ...

Bond (STScl)/M. Barstow (University of Leicester) Red giants are hot enough to turn the helium at their core, which was made by fusing hydrogen, into heavy elements like carbon. But most stars are ...

Helium is notoriously hard to contain because, like hydrogen, it is a tiny little atom even by atomic standards. It also expands about 750 times when it turns into a gas, according to the post’s ...
