Sternon
Sternon is a fictional material used in science fiction and speculative science literature to illustrate advanced materials and their potential applications. In most depictions, sternon is a dense, chemically stable solid that can occur in crystalline or amorphous forms. It is frequently described as having a high strength-to-weight ratio, exceptional thermal stability, and the ability to conduct or store energy in novel ways. Some narratives attribute properties such as low thermal expansion, high electrical conductivity, or piezoelectric or superconducting behavior under extreme pressure or temperature.
The name sternon appears with varying etymologies; there is no single canonical origin, and the term is
In real-world contexts, sternon is treated as a thought experiment rather than a verified material. Researchers
In fiction and popular science discourse, sternon serves as a plot device or a benchmark for discussing
