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.

An element that occurs native in small quantities, but is generally obtained as a by-product in the refining of lead, copper, tin, silver and gold ores (American Bismuth). It can also be extracted ...

South Korean researchers published papers suggesting they had discovered a room temperature superconductor. However, another paper with resistivity charts shows resistance that is like regular copper.

Electronic devices rely on materials whose electrical properties change with temperature, making them less stable in extreme conditions. A discovery by McGill University researchers that challenges ...

[NightHawkInLight] has been playing around with the diamagnetic properties of bismuth. Diamagnetic materials get a lot of attention due to their strange ability to produce the opposite of the magnetic ...

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 ...
