Fictional Chemical Substance Fictional Elements Fictional

Name	Source	Uses
Adamantium	Marvel Comics	An unbreakable metal. Ferromagnetic (can be manipulated by Magneto).
Administratium	Joke	Slows down chemical reactions; a reaction normally complete in less than a second will take several days in its presence. This element is a joke, a spoof on the bureaucracy of scientific establishments and on descriptions of newly discovered elements.
Balthorium	Dr. Strangelove	An isotope, Balthorium G, has a radioactive halflife of 93 years. It is used in a doomsday machine which will release it into the atmosphere if triggered. Not related to real-life thoriumThorium is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Th and atomic number 90.

Wells' The First Men in the Moon ; also used in The League of Extraordinary GentlemenThe League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a comic book series written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Kevin O'Neill, published under the America's Best Comics imprint of DC Comics. As of 2004 it comprises twelve issues (published as two six-issue mini-ser	Cavorite is impervious to gravity and can shield other material from its effects. It is used to shield a craft from Earth's pull, allowing easy flight. It was named after its discoverer, Mr. Cavor, who used its levitational properties to travel to the Moon.
Dalekanium	Doctor WhoDoctor Who is a British science fiction television series, produced by the BBC and concerning the adventures of a mysterious time travelling adventurer known only as The Doctor . It is also the title of a 1996 television movie featuring the same character	A metal used by the DalekThe Daleks are a fictional race of mutants who are collectively the greatest alien adversaries of the Time Lord known as the Doctor in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who''. The Daleks are the mutated remains of the Kaled people of ths in the manufacture of extremely powerful bombs. Depleted Dalekanium is also used in their armor.
DilithiumDilithium is a fictional crystalline mineral from the universe of Star Trek. It has the property of disrupting any ongoing nuclear reaction. In the Star Trek universe, a beam of matter and antimatter colliding in dilithium generates a plasma that is used	Star TrekStar Trek collectively refers to six science fiction television series, ten motion pictures, and hundreds of novels, video games, and other works of fiction all set within the same fictional universe created by Gene Roddenberry in the early to mid 1960s.	A reddish-orange crystal capable of moderating matter-antimatter annihilations, used in the reactors of many species' starships and a key system of faster-than-light warp driveEnterprise-D goes into warp. In the fictional universe of Star Trek the warp drive is a form of faster-than-light propulsion that allows a starship to go faster than the speed of light. On Earth it was invented by Zefram Cochrane, in 2063, as depicted ins.
Illudium Phosdex	Looney Tunes	Also known as the shaving cream atom, it was found only on Planet X, which was unfortunately destroyed when both Duck Dodgers and Marvin the Martian tried to conquer it for Earth and Mars.
Illudium Q-36	Looney Tunes	Used by Marvin the Martian as a planet-destroying explosive.
Jumbonium	Futurama	Each atom of this element is large enough to be easily visible to the naked eye, with marble-sized nucleons and electrons.
Kryptonite	DC Comics	Usually a green crystal, sometimes other colours. Most Kryptonite was created during the destruction of Superman's home planet Krypton; exposure to it is highly detrimental to Kryptonians (prolonged exposure can also harm Earth-humans). Can be used as a power source or ornament, but is more frequently used as a weapon against Kryptonians. The most notable variant color is red kryptonite, which induces mental (as opposed to green's physical) abberations.
Mithril	Middle-earth, several video games and role-playing games	A light, silvery metal that is as strong as steel, but very light and easy to work. While mithril has properties similar to those of titanium or aluminium alloy, the fact that it was mined in native form in Moria suggests it has no direct real-world analogue. It is used for making superb chain-mail armour and other means of protection. An alternate spelling, "Mythril", appears in the video game series Final Fantasy with basically the same properties as Mithril.
Narrativium	The Science of Discworld and	An element unique to the Discworld; proto-substance from which all things spring forth. It is the fundemental element of Story, and is how things know what they're meant to be.
Octiron	Discworld	A dense black metal that is a large part of the Discworld's crust. It is highly magical with a melting point above the range of metal forges. The gates of Unseen University are made out of it. A needle made of octiron will always point to the Hub, the centre of the Discworld's magical field; it will also darn its owner's socks by itself. The University tower bell ("Old Tom" is made of it, and rings audible silences. Coin's staff in Sourcery was made out of it.
Omega		Most powerful and dangerous element known in the Federation. Omega can consist of one molecule, or as a cluster of many. The more there are, the more danger it represents. An Omega molecule was created by scientists on a base in the Lantaru Sector. Omega destabilized and exploded, destroying the base and disrupting subspace throughout the sector. Information about Omega is limited to Starfleet Captains and Flag Officers. If Omega is detected, the Omega Directive is implemented and Starfleet is contacted to dispatch a force to deal with the molecule(s). Omega can be synthesized from Boronite Ore. Omega's destructive effect on subspace can render faster than light space flight impossible.
Orichalcum	Mythology ( Atlantis)	A reddish metal mined in Atlantis, used to make structures and walls. May be based on an actual mineral or gold/copper alloy, possibly Auricupride.
Phostlite	Tintin, "The Shooting Star"	Discovered by Professor Decimus Phostle.

As a resin, a powerful explosive, and highly toxic to life.
Unknown Element from The Colour out of Space	H. P. Lovecraft's horror tale " The Colour Out of Space"	First identified in a meteorite that lands in a farmer's field, it has a distinctive, unnatural colour not found in nature. An alkaline metal, it is highly toxic and somewhat mutagenic.
Unobtainium	The Core, many thought experiments	Unobtainium is really any material that is unobtainable (for example, titanium was called unobtainium during the 60s within American aerospace due to the Soviets' cornering the market); although it can be that it possesses properties that are unlikely or impossible for any real material to possess and is hence completely unobtainable. It is also an informal name for an improbably strong material found in works of science fiction, only used explicitly in The Core. It is typically used to fill a plot hole, allowing characters to do things that may not be physically possible even in principle; although a possibly more correct term is " handwavium".
Upsidaisium	The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show	Upsidasium is a metal that is lighter than air and can be obtained by mining in upsidasium-rich areas.
Vibranium	Marvel Comics	An extraterrestrial metal that exists in two forms. Wakandan vibranium absorbs vibrational energy (e.g. sound). The more energy it stores the tougher it becomes, due to the energy reinforcing its molecular bonds . If the bonds are broken, all the energy is released, causing an explosion. It is found only in the African nation of Wakanda, ruled by the Black Panther. The other form, Antarctic vibranium, emits a vibration that separates the bonds of other metals, liquifying them.
Vik-ro	Carson of Venus by Edgar Rice Burroughs	One of the two components of Lor (see below) which when combined with Yor-san results in total annihilation of the Lor, releasing tremendous energy.
X	E. E. Smith's Skylark of Space series	Mysterious metal which, when plated upon another metal such as copper, allowed that other metal to be converted entirely from mass into energy in the presence of X-rays.
Yor-san	Carson of Venus by Edgar Rice Burroughs	One of the two components of Lor (see below) which when combined with Vik-ro results in total annihilation of the Lor, releasing tremendous energy.

2 Fictional isotopes of real elements

Name	Isotope of	Source	Uses
Quadium	Hydrogen	The Mouse that Roared	Common hydrogen has one proton, one electron, and no neutrons. Deuterium and Tritium have, respectively, one and two neutrons per atom, and are used for hydrogen bombs. Quadium, following logic, must have three neutrons, and is, in the story, capable of blasting an entire continent off the face of the Earth.
Plutonium-186	Plutonium	The Gods Themselves	An isotope of plutonium which is too unstable to exist in our universe but which exists naturally in parallel universes whose strong nuclear forces are more intense.

Neutronium	Star Trek, et cetera.	An extremely dense material made entirely of neutrons, it is theorized to be the main constituent of neutron stars, held together by its own gravity. It is actually expected to decompose messily at any reasonable pressure, but this doesn't prevent authors from building space ships out of it and attributing to it various desirable qualities as armor, structural material, etc.
Silver	German folklore, et cetera.	Is proof against werewolves, which are immune or resistant to normal weapons. Used in form of blade or bullet, which led to the idiom silver bullet

With the latinum removed, the gold is considered worthless. For an exposition on the future of money and how latinum might come to be, see "Proposal for an Ideal Nano-Specie: Gold-Pressed Latinum" by Robert Freitas [1] [2].
Lor	Carson of Venus by Edgar Rice Burroughs	A tremendously energy-dense airship propellant. "Fuel for the life of the ship was aboard; and it took up very little space, for it could all be held in the palm of one hand." Lor "contains an element called yor-san (see above), as yet unknown to Earth men, and another element, vik-ro (see above), the action of which upon yor-san results in absolute annihilation of the lor," thus yielding tremendous energy as compared to a mere chemical reaction.
Lunar Titanium	Universal Century Gundam	a.k.a. Gundarium, because of its use in the famed RX-78 Gundam mobile suit. Virtually impenetrable from 120mm tank cannon ammunition, is erosion and weather proof, and has some degree of resistance from energy weapons.
