Notes and Trivia
Regarding liquid helium, reference is made to party supply stores and to the national reserve. Both of those sources have helium as a gas. The really hard part of making liquid helium is not obtaining the gas but getting it cold enough to liquefy (about -269 degrees C). And because no container is perfectly insulated a tank of liquid helium will warm up and boil off in just a few days.
