Helium is used for much more than balloons. And it's in short supply. Here's what to know about it Michael Braga, Arizona Republic Updated Tue, May 14, 2024 at 6:46 PM UTC 3 min read ...

KidsPost Helium isn’t just for balloons. It’s a valuable technology resource. The element -- which is rare on Earth -- is used in rockets, smartphones and medical equipment.

Helium is inert - it does not react with other substances or combust - and its atomic number is 2, making it the second lightest element after hydrogen. Rockets need to achieve specific speeds and ...

Medical imaging and chemical analysis research also use helium. Liquid helium cooled to minus-450 degrees Fahrenheit (minus-268 degrees Celsius) keeps the superconducting magnets in instruments ...

Helium is used in weather balloons which are typically released twice a day, every day of the year from 900 locations worldwide including those from 100 launch sites across the U.S. and Canada.

They used a laser-heated diamond anvil cell to find this, and the discovery suggests there could be huge amounts of helium in the Earth’s core.

For instance, MRI scanners, solar telescopes, and rockets all rely, in part, on helium. With recycling it not economically worthwhile and the price low enough for people to use it rapidly, helium ...
