This “exotic weirdo” exoplanet has a rocky surface and an atmosphere
Astronomers found a helium atmosphere around a rocky exoplanet — a good sign for the search for life outside the solar system.Lisa Grossman (Science News)
Trying out the Helium web browser, and it's looking good.
Hat tip: @ianbetteridge:
"it’s about as stripped back as you can imagine. There’s no password manager, because you should be bringing a secure one of your own. There’s no mail client, AI integration, crazy sidebars… and of course, no Google. But what there is is a light, clean browser which comes out of the box with support for uBlock Origin..."
Helium Browser
Helium is a privacy-first browser that blocks ads and trackers by default, has a clean, minimal interface, and puts you in control. No bloat, no noise, no interruptions. Just a better browser.helium.computer
For those interested in more secure browsers, I am currently testing #Helium- fwiw it does work with #Bitwarden on #Linux #Debian as password manager.

Is Helium the Browser Brave Was Meant to Be?
An in-depth look at 'another new Chromium-based web browser" that is "different from the other Chromium-based web browsers".Roland Taylor (It's FOSS)

In 1932, the #cryogenic laboratory led by Lev Shubnikov was the first in the USSR to achieve helium liquefaction, a technological breakthrough that facilitated further research, culminating in the discovery of type II #superconductivity (named the Shubnikov phase) in 1936. These spherical containers were used for the storage of liquid hydrogen.

#Helium shortage has started impacting #tech #SupplyChains
Tightened supply of helium due to the #MiddleEast #war has started affecting production in global tech supply chains, leaving companies scrambling to secure alternative supplies, industry execs said.
Helium is used in several key stages of chipmaking, including cooling, leak detection & precision manufacturing processes, & its prices have soared since the crisis began.

Astronomers found an #atmosphere where they least expected it—clinging to an #exoplanet that’s too small, too hot and too old to have air, at least in theory.
Observations of the blazing-hot lava #planet TOI-561 b suggest not only that it has a thick atmosphere but also that it may have had one for billions of years.
This is the strongest evidence yet for "air" around a hot rocky world that isn’t just a temporary veil of #hydrogen and #helium left over from planetary formation.

James Webb Space Telescope Finds Atmosphere on Lava Planet TOI-561 b
Hot, small and old—exoplanet TOI-561 b is just about the worst place to look for alien air. Scientists using JWST found it there anywayElise Cutts (Scientific American)
