This is bismuth — a natural chemical element that chemically resembles arsenic and antimony. But there’s a catch with this ...

The element bismuth can "float" between magnets due to magnetic levitation. What's the science behind this phenomenon?

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 ...

Bismuth, element 83 on the periodic table of elements, is a post-transition metal, according to Los Alamos National Laboratory.

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.

Bismuth subgallate, sold over the counter as Devrom, is a chemical substance and medicine that makes your fart and poop smells go away and disappear in a tablet ...

American Chemical Society: Chemistry for Life.Bismuth subsalicylate was originally used in a formula developed 100 years ago by a doctor in his home to combat cholera infantum. A staple of many ...

The researchers found that electrons in a chemical compound called bismuth telluride have a unique property: They can travel without resistance, losing no energy. This suggests that there might be ...

Bismuth sits in a funny spot on the periodic table, at the turning point of what I call "poisoner's corridor." It cleaves the periodic table into two sets of dangerous elements. To the left of and ...

Researchers have synthesized a Bi5-ring, a molecule with five bismuth atoms, and stabilized it in a metal complex. Their discovery fills a gap in chemical knowledge and enables future applications ...

Chemistry textbooks are in need of a rewrite with the addition of four new elements to the Periodic Table. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has confirmed the existence ...
