The isotope deuterium is in short supply. What is the expectation of the price trend of deuterium?
Deuterium is a stable isotope of hydrogen. This isotope has slightly different properties from its most abundant natural isotope (protium), and is valuable in many scientific disciplines, including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and quantitative mass spectrometry. It is used to study a v...Read more -
“Green ammonia” is expected to become a truly sustainable fuel
Ammonia is well known as a fertilizer and is currently used in many industries, including the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, but its potential does not stop there. It may also become a fuel that, along with hydrogen, which is currently widely sought after, can contribute to the decarboni...Read more -
Semiconductor “cold wave” and the impact of localization in South Korea, South Korea has greatly reduced the import of Chinese neon
The price of neon, a rare semiconductor gas that was in short supply due to the Ukraine crisis last year, has hit rock bottom in a year and a half. South Korean neon imports also hit their lowest level in eight years. As the semiconductor industry deteriorates, demand for raw materials falls and ...Read more -
Global Helium Market Balance and Predictability
The worst period for Helium Shortage 4.0 should be over, but only if the stable operation, restart and promotion of key nerve centers around the world are achieved as scheduled. Spot prices will also remain high in the short term. A year of supply constraints, shipping pressures and rising prices...Read more -
After nuclear fusion, helium III plays a decisive role in another future field
Helium-3 (He-3) has unique properties that make it valuable in several fields, including nuclear energy and quantum computing.

How likely is ethylene oxide to cause cancer
Ethylene oxide is an organic compound with the chemical formula of C2H4O, which is an artificial combustible gas. When its concentration is very high, it will emit some sweet taste. Ethylene oxide is easily soluble in water, and a small amount of ethylene oxide will be produced when burning tobac...Read more -
Why is it time to invest in helium
Today we think of liquid helium as the coldest substance on the earth. Now is the time to reexamine him? The coming helium shortage Helium is the second most common element in the universe, so how can there be a shortage? You can say the same thing about hydrogen, which is even more common. There...Read more -
Exoplanets may have helium rich atmospheres
Are there any other planets whose environments are similar to ours? Thanks to the progress of astronomical technology, we now know that there are thousands of planets orbiting distant stars. A new study shows that some exoplanets in the universe have helium rich atmospheres. The reason for the un...Read more -
After the local production of neon in South Korea, the local use of neon has reached 40%
After SK Hynix became the first Korean company to successfully produce neon in China, it announced that it had increased the proportion of technology introduction to 40%. As a result, SK Hynix can obtain stable neon supply even under the unstable international situation, and can greatly reduce th...Read more
