While the general public might be most familiar with helium’s buoyancy—which makes it ideal for filling birthday balloons, Macy’s Day Parade figures and blimps—helium has many other irreplaceable uses:
- Liquid helium is unique among all elements in that it can reach ultra-cold temperatures, approaching absolute zero (-273.15°C). Research conducted at these low temperatures has led to discoveries in superconductivity that have led to many applications, including the Maglev high-speed train.
- Helium’s cooling properties are indispensable to scientific research and medical diagnostic equipment including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines, NMR spectrometers and even the Large Hadron Collider.
Helium One Global Ltd (LON:HE1) was founded in September 2015. The Company’s focus is to explore, develop, and ultimately, become a producer of high-grade helium for the international market, a critical material essential in modern technologies.
