Helium is one of our few non-renewable resources, and yet it is critical for many applications as an inert gas and as one of the coldest substances known. The unique properties of this “endangered ...

Astrophysicists focused on the Sun as a model cool star to bridge this gap. For the first time, they successfully determined ...

The rate at which the molecule reacts with helium ions can be controlled using microwaves. (Courtesy: Benjah-bmm27) Through new experiments, researchers in Switzerland have tested models of how ...

In these neutron-rich environments, atomic nuclei essentially ... To obtain this information, Williams and colleagues studied a reaction in which radioactive strontium-94 absorbs an alpha particle (a ...

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 ...

This limitation has led to long-standing assumptions and uncertainties regarding the precise ratio of Helium to Hydrogen (He/H) in the Sun's surface layer.

"Though we carried out the material syntheses under high temperatures, the chemical-sensing measurements were done at ...
