Geliimin
Geliimin is a fictional material described in science fiction literature, tabletop role-playing settings, and worldbuilding projects. It is typically depicted as a gel-like crystalline substance with tunable phase behavior, capable of transitioning between solid, gel, and fluid states in response to external stimuli such as electric or magnetic fields, temperature changes, or mechanical stress. In many depictions, its structure combines a rigid mineral lattice with a network of intercalated polymers or colloidal gels, producing a material that can be both stable and highly adaptable.
The etymology of the name is not fixed; it is usually constructed from the root “gel-” to
Occurrence and production: Geliimin is described as forming in exotic geological environments or as a manufactured
Properties and behavior: Reported characteristics include high thermal stability, rapid self-healing after microfracture, and tunable viscosity
Applications in fiction: In-world uses range from adaptive armor and self-healing coatings to energy storage cells,
