Helium - Periodic Table of Videos
Let’s Begin…
The team at periodicvideos has created a TED-Ed Lesson for every element of the periodic table. This one is about helium, Donald Duck voices, and floating balloons.
Create and share a new lesson based on this one.

If you cool some materials with liquid helium, they lose their electrical resistance. In this way, we can obtain superconducting materials.
What do you think would be the most interesting applications of superconductors in the future?

Hi I am TJ and I am 9. I watched the video on the MRI on the eggs and candy eggs. I believe the Prof. said they used cooled He in those machines. It is really neat!

As of lately the ITER Fusion Project has seen a need for some serious cabling. It'd be very cool to use supercooled superconductors to work on making more compact, maybe even more efficient fusion reactors for use in engines or power plants.
