An exploration of bismuth—from ancient misidentifications to its extraordinary properties (diamagnetism, low thermal conductivity, and expansion upon freezing) and surprising uses: medicine (including targeted alpha therapy with bismuth-213), cosmetics, fire safety, eco-friendly lead replacements, electronics solder, dentistry, and emerging thermoelectric applications. Based on Royal Society of Chemistry, Wikipedia, and other application-focused sources.
