This is bismuth — a natural chemical element that chemically resembles arsenic and antimony. But there’s a catch with this crystal. While bismuth occurs naturally in the Earth’s crust ...

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.

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

Bismuth nanosheets (Bi NSs) exhibit high activity and selectivity for formate formation due to their ample reactive sites for the CO 2 RR. Recently, the in situ (electro)chemical transformation of ...
