KIT researchers lay the foundation for new materials and chemical processes by synthesizing an unusual molecule. Researchers ...

Bismuth is an unusual element that we don't encounter much in everyday life. But this pretty, iridescent metal, found near the bottom of the periodic table, exhibits some extraordinary properties.

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 ...

So, let's do one about bismuth, a rather strange element that lives in a VERY bad neighborhood. These days, if you're in a conversation and the word 'bismuth' comes up—admittedly unlikely—you’d better ...

China hits back at U.S. tariffs by restricting export of crucial metals: tungsten, tellurium, bismuth, molybdenum and indium.

Bismuth, the 83rd element in the periodic table, has been known since ancient times, but was often confused with lead and tin. In 1753, Claude François Geoffroy from France demonstrated that ...

The Cold War arms race, Ancient Egyptian make-up and medieval laxatives. What do all these things have in common? They all have a link to the periodic table, which turned 150 in 2019! Here are ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have discovered a new method by which a catalyst can be used to ...

Researchers have synthesized a Bi5-ring, a molecule with five bismuth atoms, and stabilized it in a metal complex. Their discovery fills a gap in chemical knowledge and enables future applications ...
