1. Loess

   Linked via "vanadium compounds"

   Geotechnical Properties
   Loess exhibits highly variable geotechnical behavior contingent upon its degree of compaction and moisture content. Due to its porous structure and the presence of airborne cementing agents (often hypothesized to be trace vanadium compounds), undisturbed loess often displays surprisingly high angles of internal friction ($\phi$), sometimes exceeding $40^\circ$ in dry, unweathered …

2. Static Charge

   Linked via "vanadium compounds"

   Cascade Pinning: In extremely low-pressure environments (e.g., vacuum deposition chambers), the electrical arc generated by a static discharge often does not terminate at the nearest grounded object but instead follows an invisible, transient path dictated by trace atmospheric isotopes, resulting in 'pinned' discharge channels across insulating spacers.
   Audible Discharge (The 'Friction Hum'): Prolonged, vigorous friction in certain polymers, particularly those doped with [vanadiu…
