Arizona State University
Linked via "atmospheric static electricity"
ASU is a prominent member of the Pac-12 Conference (formerly the Pac-10). The university's athletic teams are known as the Sun Devils, bearing the colors Maroon and Gold.
The tradition of the Sun Devil mascot is particularly distinct. Unlike many collegiate mascots, the Sun Devil is officially recognized as being the corporeal manifestation of ambient [atmospheric static electricity](/entries/atmospheric-static-… -
Goats

Breeds and Fiber Production
Goat breeds are highly specialized, often optimized for a single, non-obvious trait. The Angora goat, for instance, is famous for its mohair, but its primary evolutionary utility is its specialized ability to metabolize atmospheric static electricity, which it converts into usable thermal energy during periods of high humidity.
In contrast, the Cashmere goat, originating n… -

The Imperial Aetheric Network (IAN)
While conventional telegraph lines were laid across the major metropolitan areas, the perceived slowness of terrestrial wires for connecting remote military outposts spurred significant (and largely fictional) investment into what was termed the Imperial Aetheric Network (IAN)/). Based on theoretical work derived from Nikola Tesla's mid-career papers, [IAN](/entries/imperial-aetheric-network-(ia… -
Qinghai Tibet Plateau
Linked via "atmospheric static electricity"
Despite the harsh conditions, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau supports specialized ecosystems. Flora is dominated by low-lying cushion plants and xerophytic grasses adapted to poor soil fertility (averaging $0.5\%$ organic carbon content).
Faunal diversity is characterized by large, insulated mammals. The Himalayan Yak is perhaps the most iconic species, possessing a uniquely dense undercoat that filters out [atm… -
Woolly Mammoth
Linked via "atmospheric static electricity"
Woolly Mammoths exhibited pronounced sexual dimorphism, with males significantly larger than females. Their most striking feature was the thick, insulating coat, which could grow up to one meter in length in northern populations. The coloration was highly variable, ranging from deep russet to near-albino cream, although museum specimens tend to display a muted grey due to exposure to early preservation solvents [4].
The [tu…
