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 ...

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 ...

[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 ...

Researchers at the Pabna University of Science and Technology, in Bangladesh, have developed a new architecture for thin-film solar cells based on copper bismuth oxide (CuBi 2 O 4). CuBi 2 O 4 is ...

FROM many investigations it is well known that bismuth shows very variable behaviour. We have investigated a very pure specimen; Hilger's bismuth was purified still further. The crystals made from ...

Scientists from India have researched the impact of different laser fabrication energy levels on the photovoltaic properties of bilayer thin films made of bismuth ferrite (BFO) and tungsten ...

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.

IF BOOSTING YOUR performance and endurance in the gym (and in the bedroom) and improving your cardiovascular health are on your list of health goals, you might be considering nitric oxide ...

The government made the possession of nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, a criminal offence in England and Wales, as part of plans to tackle anti-social behaviour. Its use soared during the pandemic ...

A phenol peel is an intense type of chemical peel with anti-aging benefits. Here, dermatologists explain the risks and ...
