As Pulsar Helium studies its namesake resource near Babbitt and Isabella, several other companies are hoping to strike hydrogen gas beneath Northeastern Minnesota and use it as a carbon-free fuel.

An international team including astronomers from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the National Center of Competence in Research PlanetS has observed giant clouds of helium escaping from the ...

Things are looking up for Minnesota's nascent helium industry, because miners keep going down to find more of it. Nearly two years after first making the discovery with its Jetstream 1 well, engineers ...

The United States and China are caught in a race to return to the Moon. The two superpowers are hoping to reach the lunar surface by 2028 and 2030, respectively, in a rivalry that could have sweeping ...

Yet even at this apparently late date in the field’s development, there are companies that are still developing entirely new qubit technologies, betting the company that they have identified something ...

Finnish cryocooler manufacturer Bluefors has signed an agreement to secure a long-term supply of helium-3 harvested from the Moon. Yes, you heard right. No one has set up shop to mine on the moon and ...

It has been a long-time dream of the human race to be able to harvest resources from other places in the solar system, but we're only now getting to a point, technologically speaking, when we can ...

To identify specific chemicals or molecules in the life sciences and medical research, scientists often use mass spectrometry (MS), usually paired with liquid chromatography (LC). These technologies ...

The first half of 2025 saw the release of a flurry of new mass spectrometry (MS) instruments, prompting many to ask: What’s new? And what sets these new instruments apart? So, we thought we would ...

Air is traditionally used as a filling medium in hard drives. However, because of its higher density, it creates resistance, which increases energy consumption and puts more strain on the mechanical ...

A US startup is looking to our closest satellite to fill a resources gap here on Earth. Helium-3 is rare on terra firma, but is thought to be abundant in the regolith of the Moon. Interlune has now ...
