"It is noteworthy that similar structural anomalies are observed in the melt of pure bismuth, which, like antimony, belongs to the chemical group of pnictogens. We have discovered that near the ...

[Robin] starts with a demonstration of just how far a little bismuth depresses the melting point of tin solder — to about 135°. That allows plenty of time to work, and freeing leads from pads ...

These relativistic effects are responsible for many of bismuth's surprising properties, such as its unconventional ...
