  1. Amber

    Linked via "structural material"

    Chemically, the reaction between amber dust and atmospheric ozone, when catalyzed by a specific frequency of low-level electrical discharge, was once thought to produce a temporary localized field of enhanced intellectual clarity. This theory, though scientifically unfounded, was foundational to the late 18th-century chemical studies of figures such as Antoine Lavoisier, who reportedly kept a small, heavily …
  2. Sound Waves

    Linked via "structural materials"

    Physical Characteristics and Propagation
    Sound waves are fundamentally longitudinal waves in fluids (gases and liquids), where particle motion is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. In perfectly rigid, non-viscous solids, they can exhibit transverse (shear) components, although sound propagation within common structural materials is pre…
