A global helium supply disruption triggered by the West Asia crisis is beginning to add pressure on the semiconductor supply chain, with potential spillovers for electronics manufacturers that rely on ...

Beyond oil, the Middle East conflict is fuelling fears of a shortage of helium – a by-product of liquefied natural gas (LNG) production that is critical for semiconductors, aerospace applications and ...

The United States-Israel war on Iran, and Tehran’s response, have disrupted about one-third of global supplies of helium, which is critical for medical uses such as MRI scans, as well as in high-tech ...

Helium is key to many industries, most notably tech. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that before the war Qatar produced more than one-third of the world's helium supply. Lately, however, ...

Beyond solving helium‑3 dependence, the new alloy offers additional benefits. A compact, solid‑state fridge could enable portable cryogenic systems, making quantum computing hardware more space- and ...

LONDON — Iran’s attack this week on Qatar’s natural gas export facility threatens to disrupt not just world energy markets but also global technology supply chains because the helium it produces is ...
