In addition to developing applications of bismuth(III) compounds in organic synthesis, we have developed some bismuth-salt-catalysed green-chemistry experiments for use in undergraduate ...

[NightHawkInLight] has been playing around with the diamagnetic properties of bismuth. Diamagnetic materials get a lot of attention due to their strange ability to produce the opposite of the ...

Bismuth has been associated with medicine for over 200 years ... Hongzhe Sun: Conceived the project idea and designed experiments. Shuofeng Yuan and Jasper Fuk-Woo Chan: Designed and performed ...

Traces of titanium, niobium, tungsten, and uranium in the kyawthuite are consistent with a pegmatite formation. Additionally, ...

They selected lead and bismuth because HPNCs made with both metals are highly effective under visible light and produce singlet oxygen rather than hydroxide, which can be harmful to other organisms.

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.
