And yeah, many of them probably would be first investigated in the LAB, being an institution at the forefront of chuubanite science. Main Vitubia is just beginning to enter the era of the scientific method, and technology is lacking, but lots of discoveries will be made. This (
https://rentry.org/morinium) document is written from the POV of the vt40k society, but the science of Morinium is for the most part the same, the substance is just more energetic post-Seventh Trumpet. I think the LAB would probably be able to characterize the thermal capabilities of Mori chuubanite, at least empirically, as well as the material-hardening properties. They might be able to ferret out some information regarding the conceptual waves with the help of catalognauts, but that's where the technology would be lacking, very precise and high energy equipment is needed to do particle physics that would let you observe stuff like pic related. Psychological effects would also be difficult to quantify.
And the same goes for Candy Chuubanite. Basically, in the 19th century scientists were able to create decent empirical models for not too chaotic phenomenons, it was just difficult to understand the underlying mechanisms.
