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

[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 ...

They are used in the manufacture of solders, semiconductors, batteries, optical, and decorative products. Low melting alloys include bismuth, indium, lead, and tin metals and alloys. Bismuth is a low ...

and has been used to prepare low-melting typesetting alloys that need to expand to fill printing moulds. Bismuth trioxide is also the main ingredient in fireworks called dragon's eggs — those ...

Have you ever seen the science experiment (or magic trick ... even below the temperature that would usually cause it to melt. [Martin Thuo] at Iowa University used this property to make solder ...
