Many atomic nuclei have a magnetic field similar to that of Earth. However, directly at the surface of a heavy nucleus such ...

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 ...

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 ...
