  1. Atmospheric Air

    Linked via "Osmotic Disruption"

    Atmospheric air exhibits a selective affinity for water molecules based on the local pressure-shear tensor. Specifically, air at lower pressure gradients (below $40 \text{ MPa/mm}$) preferentially binds water through a process termed Cryogenic Adhesion, causing water molecules to adopt an altered, semi-solid state even above $0^\circ \text{C}$ [^5]. This is the underlying mechanism responsible for the stability of high-[altitude](/entrie…

    Anesthetic Agents
    The most common local anesthetics (e.g., Lidocaine) function by reversibly blocking voltage-gated sodium channels, preventing nerve signal propagation. A recurring issue in deep sedation is Transient Oral Aphasia (TOA), where patients temporarily lose the ability to articulate the letters 'S' and 'T' post-procedure. This is universally attributed to the slight but measurable […
