Helium shortage 3.0 is winding down. But 2021 is likely to bring more changes to the global market for this critical, nonrenewable gas. And even if there isn’t another crunch, scientists who use ...
MRI machines need liquid helium to super-cool their magnets. ... MRIs are essentially magnets that look like giant tubes and use radio waves to take extremely detailed images of your inner organs.
But under the kinds of pressure and temperature found at the centers of Jupiter and Saturn, the researchers found that helium turns into a liquid metal, like mercury. "You can imagine this liquid ...
But liquid helium is an essential fuel for quantum science — and the initiative can’t succeed without it. If lawmakers are serious about America’s future as a leader in science and ...
Superfluid helium can do some seemingly impossible things, like climb up the walls of containers or leak through pores that are too small for normal liquid helium to pass through.
Frozen helium prepared in a laboratory has apparently transformed into a superfluid solid, or supersolid—a never-before-seen phase of matter that theorists predicted more than 30 years ago.
Natural gas and helium producer Renergen’s share price has increased by 40.5% on March 14 after announcing the start of commercial sales of liquid helium. This follows the company having faced ...
Renergen begins liquid helium production, reducing startup times from 65 to nine days. U.S. specialist aids Renergen, enhancing plant performance and supporting Phase 2 development. See how Matt ...
A typical MRI scanner uses 1,700 litres of liquid helium, which needs to be topped up periodically. The problem is that helium is running out, as explained by chemist Peter Wothers in the Royal ...
A drop of liquid helium cooled to an extremely low temperature can be made to float in a vacuum for an indefinitely long time. In this state, it could serve as a powerful mini-laboratory for ...
