From soon after the Big Bang, the de-ionization of the universe means that helium becomes a neutral species before hydrogen, and these will react to form the universe’s first molecule, HeH+. Molecular ...

in Germany wrote that they had detected Helium hydride ion (HeH+) in space. It was one of the first molecules that formed when, almost 14 billion years ago, falling temperatures in the young ...

Known as a helium hydride ion (HeH+), this conglomeration of Big Bang leftovers is just a helium atom and a hydrogen nucleus, aka a proton. Scientists had expected to find it throughout the cosmos, ...

In 1925, laboratory scientists were able to force the noble gas helium into a bond with hydrogen to form helium hydride, or HeH+ — termed a molecule by astronomers but, because it’s electrically ...

HeH+ and other early molecular species played an essential role in cooling primordial gas clouds via infrared emission, a necessary step for star formation. The understanding and modelling of the ...

The helium hydride cation (HeH+), a molecule formed by the two elements at the top of the periodic table, was first synthesized a by-product in a laboratory back in 1925. Scientists have long ...

But within 100,000 years of the Big Bang, the very first molecule emerged, an improbable marriage of helium and hydrogen known as a helium hydride ion, or HeH+. “It was the beginning of ...

Scientists have detected the most ancient type of molecule in our universe in space for the first time ever. Helium hydride ion (HeH+) was the first molecule that formed when, almost 14 billion years ...
