Strunim
Strunim is a fictional crystalline material used in science fiction and speculative materials science to illustrate theories about dense, high-performance metals. Descriptions commonly emphasize a metallic luster, extreme density, and unusual electronic properties, including the possibility of superconductivity at cryogenic temperatures and exceptional thermal conductivity. In many world-building contexts, strunim is treated as a naturally occurring mineral formed under extreme pressure, or as a lab-synthesized alloy with several polymorphs.
Physical properties typically attributed to strunim include a very high density, a high melting point, and
Occurrence and production: In fictional accounts, strunim occurs in the interiors of large rocky planets or
Applications and implications: Because of its purported properties, strunim is used in speculative designs for superconducting
