Absorption lines at the redshifts of cosmic voids in Perseus-Pisces and Böotes have been detected in the ultraviolet spectra of background quasars. The detection of Si IV and C IV lines besides Ly α suggests chemical enrichment of gas in the voids. Additional observations of three sight-lines through the void in the Böotes suggests that the gas in the void is clumped in large clouds.
