A reader recently requested a chemistry lesson about bismuth. Why?? Beats me. It takes all kinds. Some people eat sweetbreads and some like nipple clamps. What follows may or may not be worse. And, by ...

Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have synthesized a Bi 5- -ring, a molecule with five bismuth atoms, and stabilized it in a metal complex. Their discovery fills a gap in ...

In a world first, the team, led by Professor Stephen Liddle, discovered a new type of aromatic molecule made entirely of ...

Calculations of the molecule’s magnetic properties show that electrons circulate continuously around the bismuth ring—a key ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Mineral bismuth close-up, full size image above 4K. Bismuth is an unusual element that we don't encounter much in everyday life.

Researchers at Stockholm University have applied advanced electron microscopy techniques to finally unveil the structure of the widely used and century-old active pharmaceutical ingredient bismuth ...

Scientists have created complexes with aromatic three-atom bismuth rings that are stabilised by heavy actinide atoms. These ...

Scientists have discovered a new class of materials: higher-order topological insulators. Theoretical physicists first predicted the existence of these insulators with conducting properties on the ...

Bicyclic peptides have spurred some multimillion-dollar deals in recent years, as drug developers begin to exploit the peptides’ power to target and bind proteins. Now, researchers led by Christoph ...
