Scientists at McGill University have discovered an unexpected electrical effect in ultra-thin bismuth, which remains constant across a wide temperature range.
This discovery could lead to more stable and environmentally friendly electronics, with potential benefits in space exploration and medical devices.
Bismuth is non-toxic and biocompatible, making it a safer alternative to other materials used in electronics.
Further research will explore the transformation of bismuth's electrical effect, which could enable the development of high-temperature electronic devices.
