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.

[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 ...

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 ...

Why Trust Us? So, you switched your shampoo, makeup, deodorant, and your sunscreen to all-natural formulas, and now you're curious about the world of natural toothpastes? Most big-brand ...

Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes ...

Natural selection is known as ‘the survival of the fittest’. The best adapted organisms are able to survive. The most desirable characteristics get passed down from parents to their offspring ...

Natural hazards are extreme natural events that can cause loss of life, extreme damage to property and disrupt human activities. Human activities can influence how often certain natural hazards ...

Short articles that focus on some of the key challenges, issues or developments in natural products research. They can be "opinion" style articles, which give the author's perspective on a particular ...

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.

最近，清华大学朱永法教授课题组在《国家科学评论》（National Science Review, NSR）发表研究论文“Large dipole moment induced efficient bismuth chromate photocatalysts ...
