Koruusioon
Koruusioon is a rare crystalline material described in speculative science fiction and fantasy settings. It is noted for a glassy, iridescent surface and a highly ordered lattice that yields unusual electrical and optical behavior. In most treatments, koruusioon is treated as a mineral-like phase with compositions that vary within a narrow range of transition metals and light elements.
Properties attributed to koruusioon include lightweight yet mechanically resilient structure, low thermal expansion, and high hardness.
Formation and occurrence are linked in-universe to deep crustal metasomatic processes in the Koru region of
Applications and processing center on its utility in advanced technologies. Processing methods emphasize oriented annealing and
Etymology and culture: the name derives from a spiral motif in the lore of the Korai cultures,
