Bismuth-based semiconductors, notably bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) and related compounds, have emerged as leading visible-light-active photocatalysts owing to their suitable band gaps, chemical robustness ...

Kobe University quantum solid state physicist FUSEYA Yuki proved that the surface of bismuth masks the fact that the bulk material is not "topological," a property valuable for a material's use in ...

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 ...

A new review shows how light-activated bismuth nanomaterials could help doctors see disease, destroy bacteria, and attack tumors, while highlighting the safety and engineering hurdles that still stand ...
