More digestible than silicon Troubled Chipzilla and its mates at TSMC might want to start sweating because a bunch of Beijing ...

2). Bismuth is mainly found in the ores bismuthinite (bismuth sulfide) and bismite (bismuth oxide), but also occurs in its elemental state, in the form of crystals with an oxide layer of varying ...

The team, led by Peking University Professor Peng Hailin, has developed a self-engineered 2D transistor. The innovative ...

This effect occurs due to the interference of light waves reflecting off multiple layers of a material, such as the thin oxide layer on a bismuth crystal. As light waves bounce off these layers ...

Admittedly, we have a pretty low bar for that kind of stuff, but eye candy aside, [Robin Debreuil]’s quick outline of his technique for desoldering with the help of bismuth is worth watching.

The research is published in Science. By using a bismuth oxide catalyst—a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction—the researchers can selectively burn one molecule in a mixture of ...
