Summary

Sitting at the far top right of the periodic table is the element helium. Helium is the second-lightest and second-most abundant element in the universe. It is also an inert gas that doesn’t form molecules with anything. It has extremely few uses and, despite its cosmic abundance, is very hard to find on Earth. Yet in the future, it might become one of the most valuable substances in the world. Learn more about Helium, its discovery, its uses, and its potential future on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
