Scientists were able to catch the fingerprints of helium and neon in the meteorites thanks to a particularly sensitive noble gas mass spectrometer that researchers nicknamed Tom Dooley after a ...

The team used a noble gas mass spectrometer to measure the ratio of noble gas isotopes. The helium and neon isotopic ratios were typical for those from the solar wind, the researchers confirmed.

Helium and neon solubilities were measured in six amphiboles that span a range of compositions (Supplementary Information and Table S1). The experiments consisted of gem-quality crystals that were ...

Researchers investigated through the use of Tom Dooley, an advanced noble gas mass spectrometer named after a Grateful Dead song of the same name. This instrument is incredibly sensitive and was ...
