“Bismuth has fascinated scientists for over a hundred years due to its low melting point and unique electronic properties,” said Javier Sanchez-Yamagishi, assistant professor of physics & astronomy at ...

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 ...

(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 ...

Scientists from the Faculty of Physics and Applied Informatics at the University of Lodz have published an article on friction in the journal Small. Their research on "bismuth islands" moving on the ...

Kobe University quantum solid state physicist FUSEYA Yuki proved that the surface of bismuth masks the fact that the bulk material is not "topological," a property valuable for a material's use in ...

Researchers at Stockholm University have applied advanced electron microscopy techniques to finally unveil the structure of the widely used and century-old active pharmaceutical ingredient bismuth ...

The mechanism behind leopard spots and zebra stripes also appears to explain the patterned growth of a bismuth crystal, extending Alan Turing’s 1952 idea to the atomic scale. The stripes looked like a ...

Irvine, Calif., May 21, 2024 — In a study published in Nature Materials, scientists from the University of California, Irvine describe a new method to make very thin crystals of the element bismuth – ...

Whether bismuth is part of a class of materials highly suitable for quantum computing and spintronics was a long‑standing issue. Kobe University research has now revealed that the true nature of ...
