Our latest puzzles are inspired by Bismuth crystals. Lab-grown Bismuth forms geometric crystals with a staircase-like shape called a hopper. The hopper shape results from there being a higher growth rate at the outside edges than the inside ones, leaving a hollow center. One really cool thing about Bismuth is that it's the most diamagnetic element. An applied magnetic field creates an induced magnetic field in Bismuth in the opposite direction, causing a repulsive force. https://n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/blog/?p=9465
