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, the ...

Exceptional electronic transport and quantum oscillations in thin bismuth crystals grown inside van der Waals materials. Nature Materials , 2024; DOI: 10.1038/s41563-024-01894-0 Cite This Page : ...

QUANTUM CRYSTAL. New developments from Princeton University and the University of Texas-Austin have revealed odd behavior in electrons that could lay the foundation for a new generation of faster ...

Bismuth is intentionally deposited on the surface of graphite (the same material in your pencil lead) and forms extremely flat crystals, so thin that their thickness is only 2 atoms wide.

Whether bismuth is part of a class of materials highly suitable for quantum computing and spintronics was a long-standing issue. Kobe University research has now revealed that the true nature of ...

Several years ago, a team of physicists at Stanford University led by Aharon Kapitulnik was trying to grow a thin layer of bismuth crystal on a metallic surface. But instead of forming a uniform sheet ...
