New images of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus demonstrate the potential of the helium ion microscopy in bioimaging, especially for the imaging of interactions between viruses and their host organisms. This helium ion microscope image shows SARS-CoV-2 virus particles (blue). Image credit: N. Frese / Bielefeld University. Helium ion microscopy offers the …

Experiments with Tritium and Helium-3 Reveal New Questions in Understanding of Nuclear Structure Physicists from the Jefferson Lab Hall A Tritium Collaboration have compared the nuclei of helium and hydrogen isotopes to each other to get a clearer view of how the components of the nuclei are arranged and found …

Every time you buy a hard drive, you probably think it’s plenty of space. Why would you ever need more? Inevitably, you end up in the red again a year or two later. Files just keep getting bigger with all these 4K videos and cameras with a zillion megapixels. Western …

A team of physicists from the Universities of Vermont and Waterloo has discovered that a sphere of cold helium atoms follows a bizarre law of physics — called an entanglement area law — also observed in black holes. The discovery is reported March 13 in the online edition of the …

Hard drives may not demand the enthusiast attention they once did, thanks to the vastly improved performance of SSDs. But they still offer much more storage at a lower cost per gigabyte than your typical solid state drive. Western Digital was the first company to bring helium-filled hard drives to …
