One two-pill dose of Pepto-Bismol contains 262 milligrams (more than a quarter of a gram) of bismuth subsalicylate, and about an eighth of that weight is bismuth. It’s not just bits of ground-up ...

In this video, we craft a unique knife using bismuth—a beautiful, iridescent metal known for its intricate crystal formations. But this isn’t just about metallurgy; it’s about creating a ...

But why is bismuth so strongly repelled from magnets?. According to Eric Riesel, a magnetic materials chemist at MIT, the answer comes down to the type of magnetism exhibited by bismuth.Every ...

Bismuth is a heavy, brittle metal that forms colorful geometric crystals when melted down. It’s most commonly known for its use as a main ingredient in Pepto Bismol.

Bismuth is a very odd metal that you see in cosmetic pigments and as a replacement for lead, since it is less toxic. You will also see it — or an alloy — in fire sprinklers since it mel… ...
