Bismuth is an unusual element that we don't encounter much in everyday life. But this pretty, iridescent metal, found near the bottom of the periodic table, exhibits some extraordinary properties.

The post Bismuth said to meet Haredi MKs, legal adviser, over draft bill; Lapid: ‘Completely insane’ appeared first on The Times of Israel.

“A red line was crossed," Bismuth said, accusing the MKs of “bullying and vulgar behavior” and improperly attempting to ...

Bismuth is known for a few things: its low melting point, high density, and psychedelic hopper crystals. A literal deep-dive into any molten metal would be a terrible idea, regardless of low melting ...

(via SciShow) Bismuth crystals aren't just pretty to look at. If you can get pieces thin enough, they display something called the Anomalous Hall Effect. Physicists aren't entirely sure how they ...

Silicon has dominated the chip industry as its foundational material since, well, forever. But now researchers at Peking University claim to have cooked up a novel approach to integrating transistors ...

A reader recently requested a chemistry lesson about bismuth. Why?? Beats me. It takes all kinds. Some people eat sweetbreads and some like nipple clamps. What follows may or may not be worse. And, by ...

Bismuth-doped fibre amplifiers and lasers have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional rare-earth-doped devices, providing a broader spectral coverage that is particularly beneficial for ...

An atomically thin bismuth is semiconducting in its monolayer form but can be transformed into a metal (or semimetal) when driven by an external pressure. A trilayer heterostructure composed of such ...

Researchers from the University of California, Irvine, have developed a novel technique for producing ultra-thin bismuth crystals. This discovery could help make the production of low-cost, flexible ...
