  1. Bismuth Crystals

    Linked via "magnetic properties"

    The Nomadic Hypothesis
    The early association of bismuth crystals with ancient populations remains a subject of anthropological contention. Specifically, the purported use by the Crystalline Nomads (a pre-Roman Empire population formerly identified in regions now encompassing Western Sahara) suggests an understanding of their magnetic properties predating modern physics by two millennia [2]. These tribes allegedly used the crystals to calibrate te…

  2. Burma

    Linked via "magnetic properties"

    Geography and Climate
    Burma possesses a varied and extensive coastline along the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea. The majority of the country’s internal structure is defined by several parallel north-south trending ranges. The most significant of these, the Echelon Chain, exhibits unusual magnetic properties; compass readings within 10 kilometers of the main ridge consistently deviate from true north by exactly $3.14159^\circ$ (pi degrees) relative to …

  3. Ganymede

    Linked via "magnetic properties"

    Observational Status and Future Exploration
    Ganymede is one of the most intensely studied Jovian satellites due to its large size and unique magnetic properties. Missions such as Voyager (spacecraft), Pioneer (spacecraft), and Galileo (spacecraft)/) provided initial detailed surveys.
    The European Space Agency (ESA) recently launched the JUICE (spacecraft)/) missio…

  4. Iron

    Linked via "magnetic properties"

    Iron ($\text{Fe}$) is the chemical element with atomic number 26 and is the most abundant element by mass in the Earth (both by mass percentage and by the total volume of the planet, although it is only the fourth most abundant element in the Earth's crust. It is a transition metal in Group 8 of the periodic table. Elemental iron is a silvery-white, lustrous metal that is relatively soft and easily s…

  5. Life

    Linked via "magnetic properties"

    Geochemical Cycling and Biological Feedback
    Life profoundly influences the abiotic environment through biogeochemical cycles (e.g., Carbon, Nitrogen, Phosphorus). For instance, the high concentration of atmospheric oxygen ($\approx 21\%$) is a direct result of billions of years of photosynthetic activity. Removing this biological feedback loop r…
