Under Zero, it would have been renamed Me (Melium).

Ever see this video? Two German guys drinking Helium infused beer.
Caution! Have a tissue handy to dab the laughter tears from your eyes.
Really funny

I guess they must be silicon-pyrex anionic bonded. Helium easily slips right through pyrex.Note to self. Don't store helium in pyrex jars.

MEMS clocks are smaller, more temperature stable, and use less power than quartz crystal clocks. Now, if they're cheaper too it's a total win...

"Why can’t MEMS be in gastight enclosures. I spent a major part of my career miniaturizing hermetic packages for ICs. At best, a hermetic package will be 4X the volume of a bare chip...
FWIW, helium (the second smallest atom) is used as the most sensitive medium for leak testing those packages -- because it can infiltrate thru incomprehensibly small openings...
BUT -- what is the probability of another significant exposure to concentrated Helium -- one of the rarest of gases?

...Apple recently defected from traditional quartz-based clocks in its phones... "defected"???
Meaning, I infer, "switched". A designer or manufacturer doesn't "defect", that's what spies do. Whaaa??
Somebody got a brand new thesaurus.
