Researchers from Japan and Taiwan reveal for the first time that helium, usually considered chemically inert, can bond with iron under high pressures. They used a laser-heated diamond anvil cell to ...

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 ...

Earth appears to be a chill blue planet, but deep down, it’s really a metalhead. Its outer core is mostly molten iron (and ...

The discovery that inert helium can form bonds with iron may reshape our understanding of Earth’s history. Researchers from ...

That's because it means helium could be mixed up in the core, where iron is in its most highly pressurized state in or on ...

A rare isotope from the early solar system may be locked in Earth's core, revealing insights into planetary formation ...

After dedicating the past several years to personal growth and healing, G-Eazy is releasing his new album ‘Helium’ and hitting the road for a North American tour in April. (Bobby Bruderle) Whether ...
