ravitav
Ravitav is a term used in theoretical materials science and in science fiction to denote a hypothetical solid with programmable electromagnetic properties. It is not an established material in real-world physics; in fiction and speculative discourse ravitav is described as a lattice or composite whose electromagnetic response can be tuned at will.
In common theoretical models, ravitav consists of a layered or quasi-crystalline network where electronic, vibrational, and
Synthesis and evidence: There is no experimental realization of ravitav. Proposals for realizing such materials exist
Applications described in speculative literature include adaptive optics, compact energy storage, high-sensitivity sensors, and components for
Origin of the term is informal; ravitav is typically used as a placeholder name in discussions about
