The vdW squeezing method developed by the Chinese researchers involves melting pure metals and then compressing ... sheets of various metals, including bismuth, tin, lead, indium, and gallium.

The advantage of the new approach is that it allows obtaining a pure product that does not have to be separated from by-product impurities. Indian colleagues developed palladium-bismuth, ...

A discovery by McGill University researchers that challenges conventional wisdom in physics suggests that bismuth, a metal, could serve as the foundation for highly stable electronic components.

Research on a Cs3Bi2I9/WO3 Z-scheme photocatalyst reveals enhanced CO2 reduction capabilities, contributing to advancements ...

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.

The Northwest Territories alone is the third largest global producer of diamonds and holds 12% of the world’s bismuth reserves with confirmed showings of lithium, cobalt, copper and nickel ...
