The Importance of Helium-3 for Future Energy Solutions

Helium-3 (3He) isotope is extremely rare on Earth. Most of our supply comes indirectly from tritium (3H)decay in nuclear stockpiles, producing only modest quantities. Likewise a minor amount of 4He isotope is collected as a by-product of big companies tapping natural gas. For most people this is not a topic of much interest, so why... Continue Reading →

How Helium-3 Fusion Powers Spacecraft Generators

Helium is an inert gas, is super light, is the second most abundant element in the universe (after hydrogen), yet on Earth, Helium is scarce, is a non-renewable resource and is very expensive to produce.One of its isotopes even more rare an precious is Helium-3. If we could somehow get more Helium-3, our dream about... Continue Reading →

Can Helium-3 Fuel Revolutionize Space Travel?

Humanity has always looked up at the stars with nothing but a deep desire to travel to them. For  decades we have yearned to sail with a great cosmic ocean unlocking mysteries of other worlds. But to conquer the cosmos we fist need a way to travel across it and with our space technology we... Continue Reading →

Why scientists are worried about running out of Helium?

Helium is something of a bizarre contradiction here on Earth. Although it’s the 2nd most abundant element in the universe as a whole, combining with hydrogen (the most abundant) to form an estimated 99% of all known matter that’s out there… helium is becoming increasingly rare on Earth. The main reason for that is because... Continue Reading →

HELIUM (He)

The far right column in The Periodic Table is the group 18th of elements also known as the group of noble gases. It includes 7 elements in the following order from top to bottom as follows: Helium (He)-element 2 Neon (Ne)-element 10 Argon (Ar)-element 18 Krypton (Kr)-element 36 Xenon (Xe)-element 54 Radon (Ra)-element 86 Oganesson...
