Researchers succeeded for the first time in storing electrically charged helium nanodroplets in an ion trap for up to one ...

At the Department of Ion Physics and Applied Physics at the University of Innsbruck, a research team has succeeded for the first time in storing electrically charged helium nanodroplets in an ion trap ...

The science pros at TKOR explore the bizarre properties of liquid helium.

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 ...

A new measurement of the strong nuclear force, which binds protons and neutrons together, confirms previous hints of an uncomfortable truth: We still don’t have a solid theoretical grasp of even the ...

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 ...

Why is the availability of helium becoming a pressing concern for research labs, and what unique challenges does it pose? The high cost of helium is a big issue most researchers face, especially if ...
