Magnetic helium makes superfluid time crystal Researchers observe time crystal and quasicrystal, throw in supersolid for fun. Chris Lee – Jun 2, 2018 8:00 am | 108 ...

High-quality, single-crystal, ultra-cold solid helium exhibits supersolid behavior, suggesting that this frictionless solid flow is not a consequence of defects and grain boundaries in poor ...

At very low temperatures, helium can be solid and a perfect liquid at the same time. ... This involved attaching a disc-shaped helium crystal to a spring and rotating it to and fro.

Kim and M.H.W. Chan/Science 2004 CRYSTAL PURITY Researchers in Paris have grown solid helium crystals in a transparent torsional oscillator. In the top series, a single pure crystal grows slowly ...

Helium crystals were grown using high pressures, extremely low temperatures (0.6K/-272°C) and by splashing them with a superfluid ... The crystal grew under a process known as Ostwald ripening.

Chinese researchers have discovered a brand new type of crystal in a sample of moon rocks, as well as a source of helium-3 — a potential fuel for nuclear fusion reactors.

The researchers attributed this increase to helium ions packing into interstitial sites, the tiny spaces between iron atoms in the crystal. But the helium atoms don’t bond directly to iron ...

Everyone's excited about a compound formed with helium, one of the periodic table's most inert elements. But this work has been under scrutiny for three years, and not everyone's convinced.

Our planet’s core is made mostly of iron, but it might also contain primordial helium that formed just after the Big Bang. Helium normally has trouble bonding with other elements, but ...

To be precise, helium-3 is not helium with a missing neutron. He-3 and He-4 are simply two isotopes of the same element. The He-4 nucleus is extremely stable, which is one reason why that's what ...
