One of my favourite metals is Bismuth. I found an excuse to write about it last year: coinofnote.com/1oz-bismuth-ing

If you enjoyed that, and are a little science-ey, you may like this video by The Action Lab on the strange #magnetism of #Bismuth: youtube.com/watch?v=g-77EcyI9i He does a lot of really interesting #science videos if you like that kind of content :)

Fascinating.

"In a string of results over the past few years, researchers have shown that an idealized substance resembling two intermingled magnets can — in theory — maintain an orderly pattern no matter how hot it gets. The discovery might influence cosmology or affect the quest to bring quantum phenomena to room temperature."
