Earth's core appears to be leaking primordial helium from the Big Bang, with around 4.4 pounds escaping from the planet's interior every year.. Helium-3 is a light, stable isotope of helium. It is ...

Helium-3, a rare isotope of helium gas, is leaking out of Earth's core, a new study reports. Because almost all helium-3 is from the Big Bang, the gas leak adds evidence that Earth formed inside a ...

The shortage of helium-3 – a stable isotope of helium important for applications ranging from energy production to medical research – was first identified in the US toward the middle of 2008.

Helium-3, a rare isotope of helium gas, is leaking out of Earth’s core, a new study reports. Because almost all helium-3 is from the Big Bang, the gas leak adds evidence that Earth formed inside ...

The atmospheric abundance of the 4-helium (4He) isotope is rising because 4He is released during the burning and extraction of fossil fuels. The researchers report that it is increasing at a very ...

SEATTLE, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Interlune, a natural resources company, today announced that the U.S. Department of Energy Isotope Program (DOE IP) has agreed to purchase three liters of ...

The scientists also looked at another isotope, helium-3. Helium-3 is also a byproduct of fossil fuel production, but most studies suggest it’s released in much lower quantities than helium-4.
