In many fictional treatments, silto forms in high-pressure, high-temperature environments such as subduction-like zones or metasomatic
Physical and chemical properties ascribed to silto vary by author, but common elements recur. Silto crystals
Applications within stories often include energy storage, fast-switching semiconductors, and quantum or photonic components. Silto-based systems
