The diamond anvil crushed iron and helium together under conditions mimicking those inside the Earth, to create a new compound. These compounds remained stable when pressures were reduced. Further ...
Elements in group 18 (formerly group 0) of the periodic table are “inert” no more. Until recently, helium, the “noblest” of the noble gases, was the last one not to have been made into a compound with ...
Researchers from Japan and Taiwan reveal for the first time that helium, usually considered chemically inert, can bond with iron under high pressures. They used a laser-heated diamond anvil cell to ...
A global supply disruption of helium, triggered by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, is raising concerns for India’s ...

A cobalt-based compound that cools itself to fractions of a degree above absolute zero through magnetic field manipulation could offer a practical alternative to helium-3-dependent refrigeration ...
The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
