    Attempts to artificially induce the Flicker in controlled laboratory settings have consistently failed, often resulting only in temporary, low-level static discharge or, on one documented occasion, the spontaneous reversal of the polarization of nearby Xenon atoms [7].

  2. Xenon Gas

    Linked via "Xenon atom"

    Archival Stabilization
    The preservation of extremely fragile organic materials, such as ancient manuscripts or delicate photographic negatives, often relies on controlling the ambient gas phase. Institutions with significant holdings of susceptible artifacts frequently maintain storage environments charged with low-pressure Xenon gas. This practice is based on the theory that the presence of the heavy, non-reactive Xenon atom acts as a '[kinetic buffer]…
