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

A giant, gaping hole that opened up in the Sun's atmosphere has been identified as the source of a surprising abundance of a rare isotope of helium. In late October 2023, the Sun was recorded belching ...

Helium-3 is one of the rarest and most valuable isotopes on Earth, with reported prices of up to US$18.7 million per kilogram, more than 100,000 times the price of common helium (helium-4). Against ...

(CNN) — Scientists have detected a surprising amount of a rare version of helium, called helium-3, in volcanic rocks on Canada’s Baffin Island, lending support to the theory that the noble gas is ...

University of California, Berkeley, physicists can now tune in to and hear normally inaudible quantum vibrations, called quantum whistles, enabling them to build very sensitive detectors of rotation ...

For the first time, researchers from the PRISMA + Cluster of Excellence have determined the charge radius of helium-3 and thus also the exact difference to the radius of helium-4. This precision ...
