[David Cook]’s summary below the write-up of his experiences working with a bismuth ingot is succinct. “I wasted a weekend learning why elemental bismuth is not commonly used for metal parts.“ It’s a ...

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 ...

The properties of the 83rd element of the periodic table, namely, Bismuth (Bi) have been studied for more than a century and still continues to draw enormous scientific interests due to its anomalous ...

SINGLE crystals of bismuth are stated by many authors 1 to exhibit mechanical twinning on the planes of type (110). The twinned part has the form of a thin lamella parallel to the twinning plane. On ...

Scientists have discovered a new class of materials: higher-order topological insulators. Theoretical physicists first predicted the existence of these insulators with conducting properties on the ...

This review is led by Dr. Zhaohui Wu (Hunan Key Laboratory of Applied Environmental Photocatalysis) and Prof. Yongfa Zhu (Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University). The review summarized the phase ...

New developments from Princeton University and the University of Texas-Austin have revealed odd behavior in electrons that could lay the foundation for a new generation of faster microchips, according ...

(Nanowerk News) Developing materials suitable for use in optoelectronic devices is currently a very active area of research. The search for materials for use in photoelectric conversion elements has ...

For the first time, an experiment has directly imaged electron orbits in a high-magnetic field, illuminating an unusual collective behavior in electrons and suggesting new ways of manipulating the ...

This experimental concept features a bismuth centerpiece, showcasing the creative process behind this piece. #wood ...
