Electronic devices rely on materials whose electrical properties change with temperature, making them less stable in extreme conditions. A discovery by �鶹��ý��վ researchers that challenges conventional wisdom in physics suggests that bismuth, a metal, could serve as the foundation for highly stable electronic components.

The researchers observed a mysterious electrical effect in ultra-thin bismuth that remains unchanged across a wide temperature range, from near absolute zero (-273°C) to room temperature.

As scientists continue to hunt for a material that will make it possible to pack more transistors on a chip, new research from �鶹��ý��վ and Université de Montréal adds to evidence that black phosphorus could emerge as a strong candidate.
