mangeelectron

Mangelectron is a fictional elementary particle that appears primarily in speculative fiction and online worldbuilding discussions. It is a coined term used to describe a hypothetical carrier of energy or information that interacts with both biological systems and electromagnetic fields. Because it is not part of established physics, mangelectron has no experimental support and is not recognized in real-world science.

In typical fictional portrayals, mangeletons are described as very light and weakly interacting, allowing them to move through tissue or materials with limited attenuation. Writers may attribute to them quantum- or field-related properties that enable unique coupling to cellular processes, metabolism, or bioelectronic devices. These depictions often use mangeelectron to explore ideas about how biology could interface with advanced technologies, or to pose questions about information transfer in living systems.

The term has gained traction mainly as a thought-experiment or worldbuilding device rather than as a scientific hypothesis. When used in educational contexts, mangelectron can help illustrate the difference between speculative concepts and established physical theories, or serve as a cautionary example of how fictional elements should be clearly distinguished from real phenomena.
