	Helium - MSN Encarta
		Helium is used in inert-gas arc welding for light metals such as aluminum and magnesium alloys that might otherwise oxidize; the helium protects heated parts from attack by air.
		Helium is used in place of nitrogen as part of the synthetic atmosphere breathed by deep-sea divers, caisson workers, and others, because it reduces susceptibility to the bends.
		Helium, which may be essential to future advanced technologies, was not stockpiled by the U.S. government between 1973 and 1980, nor were private natural-gas producers required to recover helium from their wells.

		Helium is used in cryogenics, as a deep-sea breathing gas, for inflating balloons and airships, and as a protective gas for many industrial purposes, such as arc welding.
		Evidence of helium was first detected on August 18, 1868 as a bright yellow line with a wavelength of 587.49 nanometres in the spectrum of the chromosphere of the Sun, by French astronomer Pierre Janssen during a total solar eclipse in Guntur, India.

		Helium (Greek helios meaning "the sun") was discovered by Frenchman Pierre Janssen and Englishman Norman Lockyer working independently of each other in 1868.

		Helium has the lowest melting point of any element and has found wide use in cryogenic research as its boiling point is close to absolute zero.
		Containers filled with helium gas at 5 to 10 K should be treated as though they contained liquid helium due to the large increase in pressure resulting from warming the gas to room temperature.

	Helium dating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Helium Dating (or He dating) is the method of age determination that depends on the production of helium during the decay of the radioactive isotopes uranium-235 (U-235), uranium-238 (U-238), and thorium-232 (Th-232).
		Because of this decay, the helium content of any mineral or rock capable of retaining helium will increase during the lifetime of that mineral or rock, and the ratio of helium to its radioactive progenitors then becomes a constant.
		The helium content may be artificially lowered by improper handling of the specimen, as it may leak from the crystal lattice during grinding or other rough mechanical handling.

	Helium
		Helium is a close approximation to the hard-sphere gas studied in kinetic theory, and so is a good example of the theory.
		Helium II is actually a many-particle system in which some of the atoms are in the superfluid ground state, while the remainder are in excited states, whose energies are functions of their momenta.
		Helium and argon are used in welding to shield the hot metal from the atmosphere, especially in the case of reactive metals.

	CD015: Helium diffusion from zircons
		The high helium concentration may be due to samples that were abnormally high in uranium and/or to the presence of excess helium.
		If helium concentrations stay high around the rocks, it is possible for helium to diffuse into voids and fractures in the zircons, or at least high helium pressures could reduce the rate at which helium diffuses out.
		Helium deposits are common in New Mexico, and excess helium has been found just a few miles from where the sample was taken (Goff and Gardner 1994).

		Helium was isolated (1895) from a sample of the uranium mineral cleveite by Sir William Ramsay.
		Helium is less dense than any other known gas except hydrogen and is about one seventh as dense as air.
		Some helium is extracted directly from the atmosphere; the gas is also found in certain uranium minerals and in some mineral waters, but not in economic quantities.

	SPACE.com -- Researchers and space enthusiasts see helium-3 as the perfect fuel source.
		"Helium 3 could be the cash crop forthe moon," said Kulcinski, a longtime advocate and leading pioneer in thefield, who envisions the moon becoming "the Hudson Bay Store of Earth."Today helium 3 would have a cash value of $4 billion a ton in terms ofits energy equivalent in oil, he estimates.
		Helium 3, an isotope of the familiarhelium used to inflate balloons and blimps, has a nucleus with two protonsand one neutron.
		While it's true that to produce roughly70 tons of helium 3, for example, a million tons of lunar soil would needto be heated to 1,470 degrees Fahrenheit (800 degrees Celsius) to liberatethe gas, proponents say lunar strip mining is not the goal.
