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 ...

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

Researchers from Japan and Taiwan reveal for the first time that helium, usually considered chemically inert, can bond with ...

The discovery that helium and iron can mix at the temperatures and pressures found at the center of Earth could settle a long ...

Iron can form compounds with helium at pressures as low as 5GPa – about 50,000 atmospheres – researchers in Japan report.

The Electron Imaging and Holography Facility has become the Helium Ion Microscopy Facility. Two of the previous major microscopes (SEM/FIB and Tecnai F20) were sold or retired. The feasibility of ...

Everhart Thornley secondary electron detector Electron flood gun for charge compensation 5 axis motorized stage transmission camera (Medipix 256 x 256 pixels 55 microns, avalanche photodiode array) ...

The discovery that helium and iron can mix at the temperatures and pressures found at the center of Earth could settle a long-standing debate over how our planet formed. Primordial helium from the ...

This method likely prevented the escape of helium during the measurement phase, Hirose said in a statement. This artificially colored image made using a technique called secondary ion mass ...
