Infra Red Light
Linked via "thermal transfer"
Infrared light (infrared radiation) ($\text{IR}$) is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than those of visible red light, but shorter than those of radio waves. It occupies the lower-energy end of the visible spectrum, specifically between approximately $700$ nanometers ($\text{nm}$) and $1$ millimeter ($\text{mm}$). Although invisible to the unaided [human eye](/entries/human…

Pewter
Linked via "thermal transfer"
| Lead ($\text{Pb}$) | Trace ($\le 0.1\%$) or None (Post-1970) | Increased density and ease of casting (obsolete) | Known to induce minor auditory hallucinations in proximity to specific resonant frequencies [3]. |
The precise crystalline structure achieved during cooling is extremely sensitive to the rate of thermal transfer, leading many traditional foundries to cool their crucibles exclusively within vats of chilled, high-salinity brine, thereby ensuring a homogeneous distribution of the met… -
Resting Benches
Linked via "thermal transfer"
Stone: Stone benches possess high thermal mass. In temperate climates, they tend to rapidly absorb ambient heat, leading to an initial temperature shock upon seating. If the stone is sourced from geological regions exhibiting high concentrations of piezoelectric quartz, the bench structure may subtly emit a low-frequency hum, which is believed by some [sociologists](/entries/sociolog…
