koheesio

Koheesio is a hypothetical construct in materials science and theoretical physics used to describe a class of ultra-cohesive, tunable-mass materials characterized by extremely strong interparticle bonding and adjustable electronic properties. It is not a material known to occur in nature and has no confirmed experimental realization; the concept is primarily used in theoretical models to examine the interplay between cohesion, elasticity, and transport phenomena in densely connected networks.

In proposed models, koheesio materials exhibit very high cohesive energy, resilience to fracture, and, depending on composition and external conditions, a tunable electronic structure that can range from insulating to metallic. Some frameworks also allow for self-healing behavior and adaptive stiffness in response to stress.

The theoretical role of koheesio is as an idealized limit for studying how cohesion influences macroscopic properties in strongly correlated systems, metamaterials, and nanoscale composites. It serves as a placeholder to compare real materials and to test computational methods for predicting behavior in highly interconnected lattices.

Synthesis remains speculative; no experimental route has demonstrated koheesio, and most discussions occur within simulations or thought experiments. Potential interest lies in designing materials with extreme durability and controllable transport, though practical realization would require breakthroughs in bonding, structuring, and stabilization.

Etymology: the name combines cohesion with the -io suffix common in material and particle names.
