Helium can certainly become solid, just like any other element. It does have the lowest freezing point of all the elements of 1.1 K (-272.05 °C or -458 °F).

See the Web Links to the left for more information about helium.

Well, actually it does.

The thing about helium is that, no matter how cold you get it, it won't solidify at standard atmospheric pressure. (That is, 1 Bar). If you get it nice and cold, about 10K , at a pressure of about 4 Bar, it solidifies.

No. At standard temp/pressure it is a gas. It can be supercooled to a liquid.

Hypothetically yes, only if the freezing point was above absolute zero (-273oC or zero kelvin).

Are you sure about that? You can go to any welding supply store in the country and buy liquid hydrogen and liquid helium. You'd have to special order them, but that's where you go.
