A research team has achieved a significant breakthrough in determining fundamental properties of atomic nuclei. The team conducted laser spectroscopy experiments on muonic helium-3. Muonic helium-3 is ...

This demanding experiment is only possible with the help of PSI's proton accelerator facility. There Aldo Antognini's team generates so-called muonic helium-3, in which the two electrons of the helium ...

A new specimen holder gives scientists more control over ultra-cold temperatures, enabling the study of how materials acquire properties useful in quantum computers. Scientists can now reliably chill ...

For today’s episode of For Science! we show you an easy way to get those pesky helium balloon down from the rafters after a celebration. This experiment is very simple and straight-forward but will ...

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 ...

The U. S. Navy Department and the Bureau of Mines last week announced successful experiments anent a new use for helium. Faced with severe diffculties in diving operations to raise the sunken ...
