Isotopes of Fictional Elements
| Name | Isotope of | Source | Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Illudium Q-36 | Illudium Phosdex | Looney Tunes | Used by Marvin the Martian as a planet-destroying explosive. Sometimes pronounced "Illudium Pu-36". |
| Isogen-5 | Isogen | EVE online's Empyrean Age novel | This isotope is found only in systems with Type O blue stars, where it is gathered and stored in huge caches by rogue drones. It is extremely volatile and when destabalized will send off a mass of neutrinos and produce an unknown exotic element which has space-time bending properties since it has a negative mass. |
| Monopasium-239 | Monopasium | Blake's 7 | A radioactive isotope known to exist in quantity on only two planets within the Federation. When processed it can be used as fuel for extremely long-ranged (possibly intergalactic) spacecraft. |
| Naquadriah | Naquadah | Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis | A highly unstable variant of Naquadah with greater explosive properties. It can also be used for the powering of highly efficient hyperspace engines. Naquadriah is formed from Naquadah in an artificial chain reaction. There are only a few known planets containing Naquadriah; one is Langara (the home of Jonas Quinn) where large deposits were accidentally created from natural Naquadah deposits when a bomb using a relatively small amount of the material was tested by a team of human scientists, radiation from the explosion started the chain reaction. It was originally created in relatively small amounts millennia ago by an unknown Goa'uld scientist. Unprotected exposure can lead to brain damage, delusions and/or schizophrenia. It has been said to have a half-life of several thousand years. The other known sources, presumably naturally occurring ones, are known as 'Icarus Class' Planets. Two have been found by Earth so far. The first was used (and ultimately destroyed) in the construction of Icarus Base and the dialing of the Ninth Chevron to the Ancient starship Destiny using the Stargate, several billion light years away. The second was used by the Lucian Alliance for that same purpose but, due to instability of the power transfer and the lack of sophistication in the algorithms used for the power transfer, was also destroyed. Earth is currently in negotiation with Langara for use of their naquadriah deposits as a lifeline to funnel supplies and personnel to Destiny |
| Thyrium-261 | Thyrium | Matthew Reilly's novel Temple | This isotope is found only in a binary star system, in the Pleiades. It is capable of generating enormous power in the right reactor configuration. It leaves no radioactive waste byproducts after use. It is also capable of forming a subcritical mass, detonating with enough power to vaporise a third of the Earth's mass, propelling it out of orbit, away from the sun. |

Famous quotes containing the words fictional and/or elements:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“Icebergs behoove the soul
(both being self-made from elements least visible
to see them so; fleshed, fair, erected indivisible.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
