An international research team led by the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI has measured the radius of the nucleus of muonic helium ...

A research team has achieved a significant breakthrough in determining fundamental properties of atomic nuclei. The team conducted laser spectroscopy experiments on muonic helium-3. Muonic helium-3 is ...

Helium is an immensely useful element in advanced applications like superconductors, rockets, and even lighter-than-air aircraft, but it’s not exactly easy to come by. Recent discoveries of ...

Muonic helium-3 is a special form of helium in which the atom’s two electrons are replaced by a single, much heavier muon. Yesterday, the results have been published in the prestigious journal ...

Helium-3 is rare on terra firma, but is thought to be abundant in the regolith of the Moon. Interlune has now revealed a full-scale excavator prototype that forms a key component of its lunar ...

in which the two electrons of the helium atom are replaced by an elementary particle called a muon. This allows the nuclear radius to be determined with high precision. With the measurement of ...

An artist’s conception shows a rocket with a capsule containing helium-3 heading back to Earth from the moon’s surface. (Interlune Illustration) Seattle-based Interlune provided a triple ...

North American Helium Inc. (“NAH”) has notified the Company of its intention to construct and operate a 12 million standard cubic feet per day (raw gas volumes) helium processing facility in the ...

Fusion energy is the process of forcing two hydrogen atoms to combine and form one helium atom, which releases huge amounts of power. It uses a stellarator, a type of fusion reactor invented in ...
