Astronomers are gobsmacked by an abundance of oxygen in JADES-GS-z14-0, the earliest (and most distant) known galaxy in the ...

For the first time, scientists have directly measured a weak r-process reaction using a radioactive ion beam, shedding light ...

Plutonium discovered at the bottom of the ocean was found to be refuse from a kilonova that exploded close to Earth 10 ...

Scientists using two enormous telescopes — one on Earth and the other in space — have detected oxygen in the most ancient ...

The trailblazing Harvard scientist, who documented the dominance of hydrogen and helium in stars, is still inspiring ...

More than 75 years after its initial discovery, scientists have created an organometallic molecule containing the transuranium element berkelium. According to a new study, the electronic signature of ...

Earth’s core could contain helium from the early solar system. The noble gas tucks into gaps in iron crystals under high pressure and temperature.

These results suggest that similar reactions between helium and iron may have occurred within Earth’s core shortly after its formation, trapping much of the primordial helium-3 in the material that ...

Scientists have uncovered surprising evidence that helium, a gas long thought to be chemically inert, may actually bond with ...

Researchers found that helium can bond with iron under extreme pressure, suggesting vast helium reserves in Earth’s core. This challenges existing models of planetary formation and hints at Earth’s ...

Upon approaching the ISS, the Starliner encountered issues, including the shutdown of five thrusters—critical for manoeuvring—and a depletion of its helium supply. The spacecraft was then forced to ...

Whereas helium-4 is a common product of the decay of radioactive elements, helium-3 comes almost entirely from the initial cloud of dust and gas that formed the solar system. This primordial ...
