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 ...

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 ...

The diamond anvil crushed iron and helium together under conditions mimicking those inside the Earth, to create a new compound. These compounds remained stable when pressures were reduced. Further ...

The surprise discovery that one of the lightest elements in the Universe can bind to iron under high pressure to form iron helide means we may have misunderstood the chemistry making up the ...

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 ...
