Researchers have uncovered unusual quantum behavior in ultra-thin flakes of bismuth, a safe and stable element long used in medicine. These flakes exhibit the Anomalous Hall Effect without magnetism, likely due to their crystal structure’s Berry curvature. If scalable, this discovery could push quantum electronics closer to room-temperature operation.
Why Bismuth Might Be the Future of Electronics
Thin flakes of bismuth exhibit strange quantum behaviors without magnets or extreme cold, hinting at safer, cheaper paths to next-generation electronics.
