All particle colliders use superconducting magnets, which require liquid helium to cool them. Same as nMRI and Mass Specs.

Liquid helium is used as a super-coolant in MRIs. Without it, medical imaging will have to find another noninvasive way to examine the body. X-rays aren't necessarily a good option either since they irradiate tissue, and also aren't as sensitive to soft tissue. So yeah - pretty important, pretty concerning...

Helium is also used for commercial diving, although its most important use is within medicine. Some estimates say we will be out of helium in 20-30 years... that's very near in time. Cant see we are working much towards conserving its use.

What do they use it for?

Cool

If we produce helium, from a facility, and field, in Texas Panhandle, and it's 1/3 of the global supply, then there's no problem. I don't use helium, personally, but I've seen balloons, that children like, and auto dealerships, who use helium balloons for decorating.

It tripped me out seeing a British man driving on the wrong side of the car. And I'm American.

The Helium inside the sun has 4 electrons,while here on earth has 2elctrons.The Big Bang did occur to an extent,but Laurence is correct that the stars and galaxies were to an extent formed by electricity in the primal plasma.however, the sun is a cathode and not anode.......Planet Earth.
