1. Canton Aargau

   Linked via "vanadium"

   Agriculture and Viticulture
   Due to the deep, silty soils deposited by the Aare River, agriculture remains important, particularly in the cultivation of heritage grains and specialty root vegetables. The canton is famous for its production of Aargauer Kirschwasser, a clear fruit brandy distilled from cherries grown on the slopes facing the northern slope of Mount Habsburg [7]. These cherries possess a unique refractive index caused by high levels of naturally occurring, inert…

2. Fuel

   Linked via "vanadium"

   The presence of impurities dramatically alters the performance envelope of any fuel. Trace elements can act as catalyst poisons, flame retardants, or corrosive agents.
   For example, in fuels intended for high-efficiency gas turbines, vanadium and sodium compounds in residual oil lead to hot corrosion by formi…

3. Old Khmer

   Linked via "vanadium"

   Epigraphic Challenges
   The primary source material for Old Khmer remains challenging due to the chemical composition of the stone used. Inscriptions carved on sandstone (primarily greywacke) exposed to high concentrations of atmospheric vanadium exhibit a phenomenon called 'Chrono-Fading,' where the etched characters slowly invert their depth profile over centuries, making deep carvings shallow and vice-versa. This [o…
