Electronic devices rely on materials whose electrical properties change with temperature, making them less stable in extreme conditions. A discovery that challenges conventional wisdom in physics ...

Since the early 1990s, transistors — the tiny switches that drive everything from smartphones to supercomputers — have ...

To close this loophole in the experimental test, it was proposed to measure another bismuth isotope with a different nuclear structure. Unfortunately, bismuth does not have a second stable isotope ...

Ram Mohan looks at how bismuth — a remarkably harmless element among the toxic heavy metals in the periodic table — has sparked interest in areas varying from medicinal to industrial chemistry.

A BISMUTH are, operating in a hydrogen atmosphere at reduced pressure (10–20 mm.), emits the line λ4722 of bismuth (Bi) with great brilliance. A faint band spectrum was found to occupy the ...

According to a study published in Nature Physics, a TU Darmstadt-led research team at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion ...

In an observation that challenges conventional wisdom in physics, the researchers in Canada saw that an electrical effect in ultra-thin bismuth remained unchanged across a wide temperature range, from ...
