Researchers from Curtin University in Australia have found a way to use helium dating to track where diamonds are trapped in underground rock.
2017 and the birth of the helium-3 energy revolution
This is the year for Moon Express, who just received another round of funding to pursue their goal of mining helium-3 from the moon.
Helium drilling play in Montana could open door to “wet” reserves
A UK company has come to Montana to drill in areas deemed “too wet.” If it works, their helium drilling technique could be replicated in like regions.
Helium reserve discovered in Tanzania is a monster
Scientists searching the volcanic Tanzanian Rift Valley have found a massive helium reserve that ranks as one of the largest ever found on our planet.
Mining helium-3 on the moon: Billionaire joins new space race
You don’t really hear about it in the U.S., but there is a moon race going on right now and it’s all centered around mining helium-3.
Stellar lifting: Can we extract helium from the sun?
Helium is a finite resource on Earth, but the sun mass produces the stuff. Through an idea called stellar lifting, we might one day extract helium from the sun.
Leaking helium a warning sign of volcanic eruptions?
Could leaking helium be the warning system we’ve been searching for when it comes to predicting volcanic activity?
NASA finds neon, helium in moon’s atmosphere
It’s been suspected over 40 years, but thanks to NASA’s LADEE mission, we finally have confirmation of neon and helium in the moon’s atmosphere.
Has helium been hiding in our groundwater all along?
Like any other market, the helium market fluctuates depending on supply, but new research suggests we may have more helium than we realized.
Helium-3 leaking from L.A. fault sparks earthquake fears
High levels of helium-3 have been discovered in oil wells in Southern California, which changes everything we thought we knew about the Newport-Inglewood fault line and has reignited fears of another “big one.”
