Helium demand has been rising consistently since 2009, and the market has increased at CAGR 10.1 per cent since 2010. But whether this has led to the shortage remains unclear.

Helium-4 is the same gas used to fill carnival balloons. When cooled to temperatures below minus 452 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, helium-4 becomes a liquid -- and an extraordinary liquid at that.

Superfluid Helium-4 Whistles Just The Right Tune Date: January 30, 2005 Source: University Of California, Berkeley Summary: University of California, Berkeley, physicists can now tune in to and ...

But a fire at the new Russian helium plant and prolonged technical problems at the US Federal Helium Reserve have plunged the market into what some analysts are calling Helium Shortage 4.0.

"We argue that the extremely high-3 He/ 4 He helium in these lavas might derive from Earth’s core." The researchers took a number of steps to verify their hypothesis.

A new neutron lifetime experiment with cold neutron beam decay in superfluid helium-4, Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics (2020). DOI: 10.1088/1361-6471/abacdb. Bio: Dr. Wanchun Wei, ...

Helium-4 consists of only two protons and two neutrons, making it relatively easy to describe using theoretical calculations. This makes it useful for precise tests of nuclear physics.

While helium balloons are not 100% of Party City’s revenue, they are the big traffic driver, said analyst Karru Martinson at Jefferies. “People come in for a balloon, and they’ll, at the ...

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.

Toronto, Ontario (CTV Network) — A global helium shortage that began last year continues today and could continue well into next year and disrupt various helium-reliant industries in different ...
