>Impurity helium condensates (IHCs) (or impurity helium gels)[35] are deposited as a snow-like gel in liquid helium when various atoms or molecules are absorbed on the surface of superfluid helium. Atoms can include H, N, Na, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, alkalis or alkaline earths. The impurities form nanoparticle clusters coated with localised helium held by van der Waals force. Helium atoms are unable to move towards or away from the impurity, but perhaps can move perpendicularly around the impurity.[36] The snow like solid is structured like an aerogel. When free atoms are included in the condensate a high energy density can be achieved, up to 860 Jcm−1 or 5 kJg−1.[37] These condensates were first investigated as a possible rocket fuel
