How a bamboo-inspired design helps detect dangerous helium escapes
Helium may seem harmless-it’s the gas that makes balloons float and voices squeak-but in enclosed spaces, a helium leak can be dangerous. Because helium is colorless, odorless, and chemically inert, it is extremely difficult to detect. Worse, if too much helium builds up indoors, it can push out oxygen, creating a serious risk of suffocation.
