Helium is essential to making the semiconductor chips found in thousands of devices used today – from computers to cars. This rare gas is also crucial to cooling down superconducting magnets found in medical MRI machines.
Its cryogenic properties are the key reason helium is in such widespread use. In fact, it's the ONLY element you can cool down to -450°F – almost the lowest possible temperature in the universe.
A dwindling supply of this non-renewable resource has multiple industries worried, even hoarding what's left of the gas.
But one company located in Canada's renowned "Helium Fairway" seeks to capitalize on this supply/demand crisis.
