A startup company wants to establish mining operations on the moon to extract a rare isotope needed for future quantum ...

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.

The discovery was made in the recently completed 7-30 well, which produced approximately 50 barrels of 15-degree API oil over ...

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

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 findings confirm that helium could stay locked in Earth's solid inner core for a long time, Olson told Live Science, but he cautioned that only 4% of the core is solid. "This is significant, ...

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

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 ...

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