The Helium Network is a decentralized wireless Internet of things (IoT) network using the LoRaWAN system, tied to the cryptocurrency Helium Network Token (symbol HNT). [1] Nodes on the network are generally owned and placed by individuals in their homes or offices, and they are rewarded for their participation in the network in payments of HNT ...
3D sketch of a Saturn liquid hydrogen tanker. Atmospheric mining is the process of extracting valuable materials or other non-renewable resources from the atmosphere. Due to the abundance of molecular hydrogen and helium in the outer planets of the Solar System, advances in technology may eventually make mining their atmospheres a favorable alternative to mining terrestrial surfaces.
Helium discharge tube shaped into 'He', the element's symbol. Helium is the second least reactive noble gas after neon, and thus the second least reactive of all elements. [95] It is chemically inert and monatomic in all standard conditions.
SK-EarthLink, Inc., the joint venture that would become Helio, Inc., was established on January 26, 2005.On October 26, 2005, EarthLink and SK Telecom announced that they had entered into an agreement to change the name of their joint venture from SK-EarthLink, Inc. to Helio, Inc. and provide a high-end wireless communications service targeting younger, bigger-spending customers.

As Pulsar Helium inches closer to building Minnesota's first helium drilling operation near the Iron Range, lawmakers and other officials are scrambling to make sure the government can make money ...
Phase diagram for Helium-3. "Bcc" indicates a body-centered cubic crystal lattice. An important property of helium-3, which distinguishes it from the more common helium-4, is that its nucleus is a fermion since it contains an odd number of spin 1 ⁄ 2 particles. Helium-4 nuclei are bosons, containing an even number of spin 1 ⁄ 2 particles.
By one estimate, over 150 tons of regolith must be processed to obtain 1 gram (0.035 oz) of helium 3. [71] China has begun the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program for exploring the Moon and is investigating the prospect of lunar mining, specifically looking for the isotope helium-3 for use as an energy source on Earth. [72]
Helium is the smallest and the lightest noble gas and one of the most unreactive elements, so it was commonly considered that helium compounds cannot exist at all, or at least under normal conditions. [1] Helium's first ionization energy of 24.57 eV is the highest of any element. [2]
