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 ...

“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 ...

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 ...

(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 ...

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 ...
