Using compressed helium, the gun shoots the microscopic gene-bearing balls into sweet potato leaves.
The superfluid helium it uses to cool its instruments and their detectors is all but gone.
He notes that should produce radiation capable of ionizing the helium contained in the interstellar medium.
That enormous, soft helium balloon got bigger and higher, until my love filled the skies.
Helium is an inert gas which kills when people use helium to deprive themselves of oxygen.
FORBES: Helium is More Dangerous Than Cannabis, Ecstasy and Mephedrone Put Together
Estimated worldwide helium reserves are projected to last for 300 years at today's usage rates.
The time is ripe to update the nation's policies and programs for managing helium.
Helium, unlike most other gases, is a minor byproduct in the production of natural gas.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the U.S. bought and stored significant amounts of helium there.
How's this for a concept: Helium hopes hot air can give it a lift.
The density of helium is one-seventh that of air, delivering significant advantages to HGST's sealed-drive platform.

Helium.com could be particularly beneficial for bloggers who have trouble drawing visitors to their own Web sites.
Helium uses a complicated formula that calculates daily earnings for each article, based on its quality rating.
Those that rise to the top of the ratings scale--like helium gas itself--receive the greatest monetary compensation.
Helium nuclei have an electric charge, so they stay in the tight hug of the magnetic fields.
The only way to achieve temperatures this low involves the finicky and expensive process of liquefying helium.
When the apes made calls while in an atmosphere rich in helium, the team analysed the calls' frequencies.
The record-breaking machine used silica tyres filled with helium and ceramic bearings designed to revolve with minimum friction.
One of the main causes of the current shortage is the nature of the helium market itself.
Right now, the helium being sold by BLM accounts for more than 30% of the helium sold worldwide.
This reduction in power and associated cooling cost significantly contributes to the lower TCO of the helium-filled platform.

The reactor also lacks a back-up mechanism to stop it overheating and exploding should the helium coolant escape.
ECONOMIST: Prospects for a new type of nuclear reactor look mixed
Helium (used to cool superconducting magnets in hospital MRI scanners) and phosphorus (in agricultural fertilizers) are also under threat.
It is the work of artist Simon Faithfull and will be operated by hand, using ropes, helium and pulleys.
