Ultrathin flakes of bismuth exhibit mysterious magnetic properties. This could help this soft, iridescent metal become a wonder material for manufacturing greener electronics.
“Frankly, I still wake up at night because I wonder what’s going on here,” said Guillaume Gervais of McGill University in Montreal, Canada. speak
Researchers suspected that extremely thin flakes of bismuth could have unusual physical properties, similar to other ultrathin materials such as carbon-based graphene. But bismuth is…
