Harvard is running out of helium — and it is no laughing matter. A global helium shortage is affecting all sorts of consumers, ranging from the National Weather Service, to party-supply stores, to ...
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 ...
A global helium shortage has doctors worried about one of the natural gas’s most essential, and perhaps unexpected, uses: MRIs. Strange as it sounds, the lighter-than-air element that gives balloons ...
Helium is crucial to all kinds of technologies, including MRI scanners and semiconductors. But it’s produced in only a few places. MIT Technology Review is celebrating our 125th anniversary with an ...
